Diverticulitis

Diverticulitis is a condition where small pouches in the colon become infected and inflamed, causing severe abdominal pain, cramping, and other symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or fever. It's more common in people over 40 and can be triggered by a low-fiber diet or being overweight. Treatment may include rest, antibiotics, and a liquid diet, but severe cases may require hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics. If you have symptoms, it's important to see a doctor for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
