Diverticular Disease (a disease of the colon) can be diagnosed and
treated by our best in class proctologists of the Proctology Institute
of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, or Huntington Beach.
Diverticular Disease also known as diverticulosis (or diverticulitis) of
the colon, is a digestive condition that typically affects the large
intestine, although it may affect other parts of the gastrointestinal
tract. The incidence of Diverticular Disease rises rapidly with age,
afflicting many Americans by age 80.
What
is the difference between Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis?
Diverticula are small pockets that form and bulge out of the walls of
the large intestine, a condition known as diverticulosis due to the
weakened wall of the colon. Diverticulitis describes an infection in the
diverticula, leading to inflammation.
What are the
symptoms of diverticular disease?
Symptoms of diverticular disease commonly include intermittent pain
in the lower abdomen, and may be accompanied by one or more of the
following:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Chills and fever
- Bleeding from the colon
- Abdominal tenderness
- Change in bowel habits
