If you live in Goa and constantly feel:
- Thirsty
- Fatigued
- Headachy
- Dry-skinned
…despite drinking plenty of water, you’re not alone.
This is functional dehydration, and water alone won’t fix it.
Quick Snapshot — Signs of Hidden Dehydration
| Symptom | What’s Missing |
|---|---|
| Headaches | Electrolytes |
| Fatigue | Sodium + magnesium |
| Muscle cramps | Potassium |
| Dry skin | Cellular hydration |
| Dizziness | Fluid balance |
Why Water Alone Isn’t Enough in Goa
Goa’s climate causes:
- Excessive sweating
- Rapid electrolyte loss
- Sodium and potassium depletion
Drinking plain water without electrolytes can worsen imbalance.
According to WHO hydration guidelines, electrolyte replacement is essential in hot, humid environments.
Common Causes We See Clinically
- Heat exposure
- Alcohol intake
- Physical activity
- Air-conditioned environments
- Poor mineral intake
Seen frequently among residents of Mapusa, Panaji, Candolim, and North Goa.
Oral Electrolytes vs IV Hydration
| Factor | Oral Fluids | IV Hydration |
|---|---|---|
| Absorption speed | Slow | Immediate |
| GI tolerance | Variable | Bypassed |
| Electrolyte precision | Low | Controlled |
| Relief | Partial | Rapid |

Frequently Asked Questions – Hydration IV Therapy in Goa
I drink enough water. Why am I still dehydrated?
Hydration isn’t just about water intake. In hot and humid climates like Goa, sweating, heat exposure, stress, alcohol consumption, and travel can lead to significant loss of electrolytes and minerals. Water alone may not fully correct this imbalance.
Is IV Hydration Therapy only for severe dehydration?
No. IV hydration is often considered for ongoing fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, dull skin, or poor physical recovery — even when dehydration is mild but persistent. Suitability is determined after medical assessment.
How long does a Hydration IV session take?
Most IV hydration sessions take around 30–45 minutes. Patients can usually return to normal daily activities immediately afterward unless advised otherwise.
How long do the effects of Hydration IV Therapy last?
Effects may last from several days up to a week, depending on factors such as heat exposure, physical activity, travel, and ongoing hydration habits. Maintaining regular fluid and electrolyte intake helps prolong benefits.
