Subjective Symptom Validation

Meaning

Subjective symptom validation is the clinical process of systematically correlating a patient’s self-reported symptoms, such as fatigue, cognitive fog, or mood disturbance, with objective laboratory findings and established physiological patterns of hormonal dysfunction. This critical step ensures that patient complaints are taken seriously and are viewed not as isolated issues but as potential manifestations of measurable underlying endocrine or metabolic imbalances. It bridges the gap between patient experience and clinical science for accurate diagnosis.
