10 Symptoms of Peritonitis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Fatigue
When we are sick, the body is often a battleground internally. The affected area can be the site of a fierce battle between the invaders and the protectors, and resources are sent to the area to help in the fight. While the patient might appear to be at rest on the outside, the battle going on within can be exhausting.
Patients with peritonitis are quite likely to feel fatigued as a result. In addition to the ongoing battle against the infection, the patient can also be taking on less nutrition than normal, exasperating the problem. Make sure you see a doctor for help and get plenty of rest to aid in your recovery.
