Diverticular disease of intestine, part unspecified, with perforation and abscess - what does this mean
Diverticular disease of the intestine is caused by the formation of small, bulging pouches (diverticula) in the wall of the large intestine. when these pouches become inflamed or infected, they can rupture and cause perforation and abscess formation. this can lead to severe abdominal pain, fever, and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - diverticular disease of intestine, part unspecified, with perforation and abscess
Diverticular disease of the intestine is caused by a weakening of the muscular wall of the intestine which leads to the formation of pouches, or diverticula. over time, these pouches can become inflamed and infected, leading to diverticulitis. if the diverticulitis becomes severe, it can cause a perforation in the intestine wall, allowing bacteria to enter the abdominal cavity and form an abscess. this can lead to further complications, such as sepsis or peritonitis, which can be life-threatening.
