THE TREATMENTS FOR DIVERTICULAR DISEASE: PREVENTION AND TREATMENTS FOR DIVERTICULAR DISEASE

By DR. T.D GILLS

DIVERTICULAR DISEASE
Diverticulitis is a condition in which tiny pouches form in the colon (the large intestine). These pouches may become infected, which can lead to inflammation and pain. Diverticulitis is most common in people aged 50 to 69 years, but it can also occur in people of any age. Diverticulitis is caused by bacteria, viruses, or pieces of food (called irritants) that get stuck in the Diverticulum (a small pouch in the colon).
Treatment for Diverticulitis includes antibiotics, pain relief, and stool softeners. The prognosis for people with Diverticulitis is good, but the condition can be serious and require surgery.
Diverticulosis is a condition characterized by the presence of diverticula and small sac-like pockets in the wall of the intestine. Diverticulitis is an infection of the diverticula. Diverticulosis is most common in the elderly, but it can occur at any age. Diverticulitis is more common after surgery, but it can also occur in people who have no history of surgery. Diverticulitis is the most common cause of acute intestinal bleeding.
WHAT IS DIVERTICULAR DISEASE?
Diverticulitis is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon). Diverticulitis is caused by bacteria entering the small intestine (duodenum) through the colon. Diverticulitis can cause pain, fever, and diarrhea. The most common symptom is a pain in the lower left side of the stomach (abdomen). Diverticulitis can be fatal if not treated quickly. Diverticulitis is a common disease, and it is estimated that it affects about 50 million people worldwide. Diverticulitis is most commonly caused by infection with the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli). Other causes of diverticular disease include radiation therapy to the abdomen, previous surgery in the abdominal area, and abnormal amounts of fecal material in the intestine. Diverticulitis is treated with antibiotics, fluids, and pain relief.
