Diagnosing the Causes of Fatigue

A comprehensive medical examination and a detailed medical history form the basis of the diagnosis. Blood tests, hormone analyses and, if necessary, imaging procedures can also be helpful.

Complementary medical diagnostics such as an examination of the intestinal flora are also of great importance. Leaky gut or SIBO can lead to systemic immune reactions and thus to tiredness and fatigue.

A thorough medical examination is crucial in order to identify the specific causes and develop an individual treatment strategy.
