Diverticulitis is basically when pouches of inner lining of the colon are formed and they get inflamed or infected. The symptoms maybe acute in onset or happen over a few days. The main symptoms are -
- pain on lower left side of abdomen, which can worsen
- nausea, vomiting. diarrhea, gas, bloating
- fever
- feeling of fullness
The diagnosis is done by blood tests and if required ultrasound or CT scan. Treatment is initially giving antibiotics and painkiller. Rarely surgery is required.
