📛 DIVERTICULITIS Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment 2024
Diverticulitis is a condition that occurs when small pouches or sacs called diverticula, which form in the wall of the colon, become inflamed or infected. This causes abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, and changes in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhea. In severe cases, diverticulitis can lead to complications, including colon perforation, abscesses, and fistulas.
Diverticulitis is more common in people over 50 and in those with a low-fiber diet, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Fortunately, most people with diverticulitis recover completely with medical treatment, which may include dietary changes, medication, and, in severe cases, surgery.
