Diverticulosis
Diverticulosis is the presence of small pouches or sacs that form in the wall of the large intestine. In many people it produces no discomfort and is discovered incidentally.
Frequent symptoms: it is usually silent, although some people notice abdominal discomfort, bloating, or changes in bowel habits.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is worthwhile if abdominal pain, bleeding, or recurring digestive discomfort appears.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who studies the intestine and guides the follow-up; the general surgeon may intervene in specific situations. If you have concerns about your digestive health, talking about it with a professional helps clarify them.
