Symptom 7. Fatigue and Weakness
Fatigue and weakness are common symptoms that may accompany diverticulitis. The inflammation and infection associated with this condition can put a strain on the body, leading to feelings of exhaustion and a lack of energy.
Moreover, if you’re experiencing other symptoms such as pain, fever, and changes in bowel movements, these factors can contribute to fatigue and weakness. In some cases, reduced nutrient absorption due to inflammation in the large intestine may also lead to malnutrition, further exacerbating feelings of tiredness.
If you find yourself feeling fatigued or weak, especially when combined with other symptoms of diverticulitis, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional. They can help determine the underlying cause and suggest appropriate treatment options to help alleviate your symptoms and improve your overall health. (6)
