Brief answer....given below
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query but would like to ask certain questions before giving proper answer.
Is she having problem in urination?
Is there any burning in urination?
Has her frequency of urination increased?
Is she getting up frequently in night for urination ?
Does she have any rashes or itching on skin in groin area?

The way your fiancée gets relieved by drinking plenty of water,it suggests urinary tract infection. This would need a urine examination and a course of antibiotics,if urine infection is confirmed.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query or clarification.
Best of luck
Thanks
