8. Fatigue: A Common Yet Overlooked Sign of Diverticulosis
Fatigue is a common yet often overlooked symptom of diverticulosis. The discomfort, pain, and changes in bowel habits associated with the condition can lead to poor sleep quality and disrupted sleep patterns, contributing to feelings of exhaustion and lack of energy.
Additionally, fatigue may be a result of the body’s response to inflammation or infection, as the immune system diverts energy and resources to address the underlying issue. In some cases, fatigue may be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, nausea, and weight loss, further indicating the presence of an underlying problem.
If you experience persistent or severe fatigue, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. They can help determine the cause of your fatigue and recommend appropriate interventions to improve your energy levels and overall well-being. (8)
