Colonic Diverticula
Colonic diverticula are small pouches that form in the wall of the large intestine, especially in its final portion. Their presence is known as diverticulosis and often produces no symptoms.
Common causes: They are associated with aging, a low-fiber diet, and increased pressure within the colon. When these pouches become inflamed, diverticulitis appears.
Common symptoms: They may include pain in the lower abdomen, changes in bowel habits, and, at times, fever or discomfort during bowel movements.
Which specialist treats it? The proctologist and the general surgeon are the go-to specialists for evaluating the colon, with initial support from the general practitioner. When there is persistent abdominal pain or bleeding, the advisable thing is to go in for a check to guide the management.
