According to the therapist, constant fatigue and excessive sleepiness in women can be explained by hormonal disorders.

The doctor said in an interview that fatigue and drowsiness, which are felt regardless of the amount of sleep and rest, may signal certain health problems. One of the medical reasons for constant exhaustion and fatigue in women is iron deficiency.

“When there is too little iron, anemia develops, if iron is barely enough for the body's needs, it is called sideropenia – a condition in which the body uses up resources, postponed for a “dark day”, the doctor said, explaining increased fatigue and sleepiness in women.

The doctor added that the feelings associated with a decline in energy and strength, can be caused by a deficiency of other trace elements: for example, magnesium or B vitamins, or vitamin D, which affect the brain. The most accurate way to detect the problem is a blood test.

The doctor named inflammation as another medical cause of increased fatigue and sleepiness in women. It may not have other obvious symptoms, and the loss of tone is caused by the constant tension of the body.

Hormonal imbalance may also hide behind the disturbance.

“Fatigue and sleepiness are a reason to check the thyroid and adrenal glands , the level of estrogen and testosterone,” the doctor shared.
