What Causes Constant Fatigue Post A Colectomy?
I had a colectomy in 2012 due to severe complications with ulcerative colitis. My question is, is it common to be still suffering from severe fatigue? I m 28 years old and I feel myself wearing out a lot easier than I used to. I m still very active. I work out regularly, about 4-5 days a week, ride dirtbikes, snowboard, hike, etc... I know I have to supplement with vitamins and stay hydrated, which I do but it seems after the surgery, I ve noticed that I don t have the energy that I used to. Please any advice and information is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
As you explain the history no this fatigue is not related to colonoscopy. Probably you should be screened by your doctor to find the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
