Diverticulas are outpouchings of the colon. Most patients with diverticular disease do not have symptoms. About 10% of patients can develop symptoms related to their diverticula, including pain, inflammation, and infection. Others can develop more severe complications such as life-threatening bleeding, perforations, obstructions, and fistulae.
Diverticular disease can affect individuals throughout their lives, mainly due to insufficient water and fibre intake. People at risk are often those who do not eat a balanced diet, resulting in constipation or inadequate bowel movements as these can contribute to increased pressure inside the colon, resulting in the outpouchings. Obesity is another considerable risk factor.
Although diverticular disease can have a hereditary component, people with a strong family history can develop the disease, even if they have a healthy lifestyle. It is, therefore, essential to maintain adequate hydration and dietary habits to reduce the risk of diverticular disease.
