What is direticulitis?

Answer 1

Diverticulitis is an inflammatory condition that occurs when diverticula, small pouches that can form in the walls of the colon, become infected or inflamed. Symptoms often include abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits. It can lead to complications if not treated, such as abscesses or perforation of the colon. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, dietary changes, and, in severe cases, surgery.
