How Quick Can I Recover from Dehydration after IV Therapy?

Dehydration occurs when the body loses fluids faster than it can replenish them. Feeling thirsty, lightheaded, or fatigued? Sports drinks may not be sufficient. IV (intravenous) therapy at Greystone Regenerative Medicine delivers fluids and nutrients directly to the bloodstream for rapid relief.

What Causes Dehydration?

Dehydration can result from various factors such as excessive sweating, hot weather, medications like diuretics, illnesses causing vomiting or diarrhea, or alcohol consumption. Symptoms range from mild thirst to more severe issues like dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, weakness, and headaches. Severe dehydration requires immediate medical attention if accompanied by confusion, rapid heartbeat, or decreased urination.

Why Choose IV Therapy?

While sports drinks are popular for hydration, they can be high in sugar and may worsen dehydration. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, delivering fluids directly to the bloodstream for almost instant hydration without the sugar crash. At Greystone Regenerative Medicine, IV therapy also offers essential vitamins and minerals for optimal health.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Recovery time varies based on individual health and dehydration severity. Most people feel better after one IV therapy session, though some may need multiple treatments. During your consultation with Dr. Shober, we'll assess your needs and recommend a personalized treatment plan.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

After planning your IV therapy, you'll relax in a comfortable treatment room. A small catheter is inserted into a vein for administering a saline solution directly into your bloodstream. While you may feel a slight pinch during insertion, the process is generally painless. There's no recovery time needed, but we advise hydrating and avoiding strenuous activities post-treatment.
