Understanding Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis is a condition that occurs when small pouches (diverticula) in the walls of the colon become inflamed or infected. It can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits. Here’s what you need to know:
Common Causes of Diverticulitis:
- Low-Fiber Diet: A diet low in fiber can contribute to the formation of diverticula.
- Aging: The risk of diverticulitis increases with age.
- Genetics: Family history may play a role in its development.
Effective Diverticulitis Management and Treatments
Managing diverticulitis involves addressing inflammation and preventing complications. Here are some strategies for dealing with diverticulitis:
- Diet Modification: Increasing dietary fiber can help prevent diverticulitis and manage symptoms. Your healthcare provider may recommend a specific diet plan.
- Medications: Antibiotics and pain relievers may be prescribed to treat infections and alleviate discomfort.
