About Loss of Strength

Loss of strength, medically known as asthenia or muscle weakness, is not a procedure but a common symptom evaluated by an Internal Medicine specialist. The 'procedure' involves a comprehensive diagnostic workup to identify the underlying cause. This includes a detailed medical history, physical and neurological examinations, and targeted diagnostic tests. The goal is to differentiate between true muscle weakness, fatigue, or neurological deficits. Common causes range from metabolic disorders and infections to chronic diseases like diabetes or thyroid dysfunction. An internist systematically rules out conditions to formulate an accurate diagnosis and create a personalized management plan, which may involve medication, lifestyle modifications, or specialist referrals.
