Diagnosing unexplained fatigue involves a comprehensive approach:
1. Medical History: Reviewing the patient's complete medical history, including menstrual patterns, lifestyle, and any underlying conditions. 2. Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination to check for any signs of illness. 3. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests to check for anemia, thyroid function, and other possible deficiencies. 4. Imaging Studies: In some cases, imaging studies like ultrasound may be necessary to diagnose conditions like PCOS or endometriosis.
