Revised 1999 Diverticular Disease Diverticulosis of the colon is a common condition that afflicts about 50 percent of Americans by age 60 and nearly all by age 80. Only a small percentage of those with diverticulosis have symptoms, and even fewer will ever require surgery. WHAT IS DIVERTICULOSIS/DIVERTICULITIS? Diverticula are pockets that develop in the colon wall, usually in the sigmoid or left colon, but may involve the entire colon. Diverticulosis describes the presence of these pockets. Diverticulitis describes inflammation or complications of these pockets. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The major symptoms of diverticular disease are abdominal pain (usually in the lower left abdomen), diarrhea, cramps, alteration of bowel habit and occasionally, severe rectal bleeding. These symptoms occur in a small percentage of patients with the condition and are sometimes difficult to distinguish from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Diverticulitis - an infection of the diverticula - may cause one or more of the following symptoms: pain, chills, fever and change in bowel habits. More intense symptoms are associated with serious complications such as perforation, abscess or fistula formation. WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF DIVERTICULAR DISEASE?

WebCasts WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW Diverticulitis (di-ver-tik-u-LIE-tis) is an inflammation of small pouches called ""diverticula'' that often develop in the wall of the large bowel (colon). Waste from digested food can get trapped in the diverticula and cause swelling and pain. Causes Frequently no cause can be found. Having a family history of diverticulitis or eating a low-fiber diet may make you more likely to have this problem. Signs/Symptoms The main symptom is abdominal pain that either comes and goes or lasts all the time. You may also have a fever, feel like throwing up, or develop tenderness in the belly. Care Your doctor may order x-rays and tests. If the diverticula are infected, you may be given antibiotics. If you have a bad infection or if you need surgery to remove part of the colon, you may need a stay in the hospital.

Diverticulitis Diverticulitis is the inflammation or infection of small pouches, called diverticula, that develop along the walls of your intestines. The formation of the pouches themselves is a relatively benign condition known as diverticulosis. The pouches can develop anywhere on the digestive tract, but they most commonly form at the end of the descending and sigmoid colons, and they also frequently occur on the first section of the small intestine (although they rarely cause problems there). If you have diverticulosis, you may not even be aware of it, because the diverticula are usually painless and cause few, if any, symptoms. You may experience some cramping on your left side that disappears when you pass gas or move your bowels. And because diverticula on rare occasions bleed, bright red blood may appear in your stool. The more serious disease, diverticulitis, may involve anything from a small abscess in one or more of the pouches to a massive infection or perforation of the bowel. The symptoms are similar to those of

Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Diverticulitis Information Diverticulitis Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Definition : Diverticulitis is inflammation of an abnormal pouch (diverticulum) in the intestinal wall, usually found in the large intestine (colon). The presence of the pouches themselves is called diverticulosis. Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Small protruding sacs of the inner lining of the intestine (diverticulosis) can develop in any part of the intestine. They are most common in the colon. These sacs, called diverticula, occur with increasing frequency after the age of 40. When they become inflamed, the condition is known as diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is an inflammatory condition where the area around the diverticula becomes irritated and attracts immune cells. It affects 10% to 20% of those with diverticula at some time. These areas can become infected. Risk factors are older age and history of diverticula or prior episodes of diverticulitis. Eating a high-fiber diet and avoiding seeds and nuts may prevent episodes.
