Diverticulitis: Understanding Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

Diverticulitis is a condition in which small pouches or sacs (diverticula) develop in the wall of the colon (large intestine). These diverticula can become inflamed or infected, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel movements. Diverticulitis can be a serious condition and may require treatment with antibiotics or surgery.
