Sigmoid diverticular disease is a condition where small pouches form in the wall of the sigmoid colon (a part of the large intestine). These pouches, called diverticula, can become inflamed or infected, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Treatment may involve dietary modifications, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
