Diverticular disease is a condition where small, bulging pouches (diverticula) form in the lining of the intestines, most commonly in the large intestine. it can occur without perforation or abscess, meaning that the pouches do not rupture and cause infection. symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. treatment typically involves dietary changes, antibiotics, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
What happens during the disease - diverticular disease of both small and large intestine without perforation or abscess
Diverticular disease is caused by a combination of factors, including a low-fiber diet, aging, and increased pressure on the walls of the large and small intestine. this increased pressure can cause small pouches, called diverticula, to form in the lining of the intestine. these diverticula can become inflamed or infected, leading to diverticulitis. in some cases, these diverticula can cause narrowing or blockage of the intestine, leading to abdominal pain, cramping, and diarrhea.
