What is Diverticulosis & Diverticulitis? - Digestinol Research Blog

Would you be surprised if we told you that Diverticulosis is a very common disease, which affects both women and men?

Diverticulosis is a disease that occurs in your colon and is when small pockets or pouches form in the colon’s lining.

If you are usually constipated and are 50-60 yrs. old or older, chances are that you may have it without even knowing it, as almost half of all people who are 60 or older, suffer from it.

Diverticulosis doesn’t happen often to kids or those younger than 30 yrs. old. Studies have shown that men may get it more than women.

Diverticulosis has no cure and the bad news is that it doesn’t even cause symptoms at all.

So then how will you know if you have it? Most people find out by accident. They visit their doctor for something else, and then the doctor performs a routine exam of the colon, an x-ray or a colonoscopy, and that’s when the doctor notices these abnormalities in your colon.

To confirm you have Diverticulosis, your doctor will:

1. Do a physical exam, which can include a digital rectal exam.

Not the most fun of exams, but with a lubricated gloved finger, he’ll gently and carefully check your anus for bleeding, pain, or other signs.

2. Check your medical history.

He’ll ask about your general health, diet, medication you take, and how often you have bowel movements.

He will probably ask you about your family history as well.

3. Perform additional tests, like:

A colonoscopy, which looks in your colon and rectum.

A CT scan, which makes images of your digestive tract.

A lower GI series, which uses X-rays to get a much better look at your large intestine.

A blood sample to show if you have any signs of inflammation or anemia.

There are a few factors that can make your more prone to developing Diverticulosis than other people:

1. Family History: If someone in your family had or has this disease.

2. Aging: In most people aging can decrease the elasticity and strength of you colon wall, which can lead to weak spots where those pouches form.

3. Constipation: This means you usually have to strain your muscles to have a bowel movement.

Now how is constipation related to Diverticulosis, you may wonder?

When your colon has to push hard, dry stools through your anus, it creates a lot of pressure in your colon.

This pressure causes weak spots in your colon’s wall. Over the years, extra pressure can cause the lining of your colon to push through these weak spots, forming those pouches or pockets.

The main thing to know is that these pouches are not inflamed or infected. If your doctor determines that they are, you’ll be diagnosed with Diverticulitis. So how or why will these pouches get infected in the first place?

It usually happens when a pouch is blocked by stool that’s traveling through your colon to your rectum. Bacteria from the waste builds up and causes an infection.

While there are no signs at all for the majority of people when having Diverticulosis, Diverticulitis does show one common sign, which is the feeling of pain in the lower left side of your abdomen.

Different people have experienced pain in many levels. Some feel a severe pain that comes on suddenly; others experience a mild pain, which gets worst over a period of days.

Other symptoms of Diverticulitis are cramping, constipation, diarrhea, changes of bowel habits, tenderness in the abdomen, nausea, chills and even vomiting.

Not everyone who suffers from Diverticulosis will have Diverticulitis. Experts say that only about 10 to 25% of people will get it. This news is very comforting and motivating for many people, because there’s a few things you can do in order to prevent Diverticulitis.

Many people get worried and assume that Diverticulosis leads to cancer. The great news is that it doesn’t, however, it may lead to many other complications including inflammation, infection, as mentioned above, and bleeding or intestinal blockage – which can be painful and stressful.
