Diverticulitis

Diverticulitis is a condition in which small pouches, called diverticula, form in the walls of the colon and become inflamed or infected. Symptoms of diverticulitis may include abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea, or constipation.

Treatment for diverticulitis may include dietary changes, medication, and in severe cases, surgery. It is important for individuals with diverticulitis to work with a healthcare provider to manage their condition and prevent complications.
