Symptom 10: Chronic Fatigue – A Silent Cry for Attention?
We’ve all had those days – waking up feeling drained, trudging through routines, and barely making it to bed, only to repeat the cycle. However, when this becomes the norm rather than the exception, it might be more than just a ‘bad day’. Chronic fatigue, especially when it’s unexplained, can be a subtle indicator of underlying health concerns, with colon polyps being one of the potential culprits.
You might wonder, how can something as seemingly unrelated as fatigue be tied to colon polyps? It’s all about the chain reaction. Colon polyps, especially larger or multiple ones, can cause minor, unnoticed bleeding. This persistent bleeding, over time, can lead to iron-deficiency anemia – a condition where your blood lacks adequate healthy red cells to carry oxygen to your body’s tissues. The result? A constant, overarching sense of exhaustion.(10)
