Diverticulitis
Diverticular Disease
Thorough description and analysis of the disease and clearly identifies the causes:
Diverticular disease consists of three conditions known as Diverticulosis, Diverticular bleeding and Diverticulitis. Diverticulosis is the condition in which having Diverticula in the colon, Diverticula are small protruding pouches which have been formed as a result of weaknesses of the muscle layers of the colon. Diverticular bleeding occurs when injury is caused to the small blood vessels that are next to the diverticula. If these pouches become inflamed it is called Diverticulitis, this usually happens if the pouches become blocked with waste, allowing bacteria to build up causing infections.
The main cause of Diverticular disease has yet to be discovered by doctors. But Many believe that a diet low in fibre may be the main cause. Diets low in fibre may cause constipation, resulting in muscles straining when passing a stool. This strain may cause Diverticula to form in the colon.
Thorough examination of symptoms and effects of the diet related disease:
Symptoms
The symptoms of Diverticular disease are sometimes unrecognisable but few people can suffer from cramping, bloating, constipation and abdominal pain, especially after a meal. Rectal Bleeding and fistulas can also occur, fistulas are abnormal or surgically made connections or passages between a hollow or tubular organ and the body surface, or between two hollow or tubular organs. Rectal bleeding is usually painless but can become dangerous. If Diverticulosis becomes inflamed and causes Diverticulitis many symptoms will occur, such as pain felt in the lower part of the abdomen, fevers, felling sick to you stomach, vomiting or a change in bowel habits.
Effects
Pain and discomfort are among the first side effects of diverticulitis, this occurs due to the inflammation cause by the infection in the large intestines, which causes tenderness especially in the abdomen.
