Diverticulitis – An Overview
Diverticulitis is caused as a result of diverticula – small, bulging pouches that form in the lining of your digestive system. They are found most often in the colon. When these pouches become inflamed or infected they cause a condition named diverticulitis.
Diverticulitis can cause severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea and can also hamper your bowel movements to a great extent.
