What is tiverticulitis?

Answer 1

Diverticulitis is an inflammation or infection of small pouches, called diverticula, that can form in the walls of the colon. These pouches develop when weak spots in the colon wall bulge outwards, often due to a low-fiber diet. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, dietary modifications, and in severe cases, surgery.
