An Introduction to Diverticular Disease
Diverticular disease refers to the presence of diverticula, which are small pouches that develop in the lining of the colon. These pouches are formed when weak spots in the colon’s walls protrude outward. While diverticula themselves usually do not cause symptoms, complications can arise when they become inflamed or infected. This can lead to conditions such as diverticulitis, diverticular bleeding, and abscess formation.
The prevalence of diverticular disease is increasing worldwide, especially in Western countries. Lifestyle factors, such as a low-fiber diet and sedentary behavior, are believed to contribute to the development of diverticula. Effective management and treatment of diverticular disease require a comprehensive understanding of its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and available treatment options.
