Can diverticulosis cause bowel wall thickening?

Yes, diverticulosis can cause bowel wall thickening. The presence of diverticula, which are small pouches that form in the colon wall, can lead to inflammation and changes in the bowel tissue, resulting in thickening. This thickening is often observed in imaging studies and may be associated with diverticulitis, a complication of diverticulosis characterized by inflammation or infection of the diverticula. Regular monitoring and management are important to prevent complications.
