Diverticulitis is swelling (inflammation) of an abnormal pouch (diverticulum) in the intestinal wall. These pouches are usually found in the large intestine (colon). The presence of the pouches themselves is called diverticulosis.
Treatment
Acute diverticulitis is treated with antibiotics.
The involved portion of the colon may need to be removed with surgery if you have:
•Abscess
•Hole (perforation) in the colon
•Fistula (abnormal connections between different parts of the colon or the colon and another body area)
•Repeated attacks of diverticulitis
After the acute infection has improved, eating high-fiber foods and using bulk additives such as psyllium may help reduce the risk of diverticulitis or other symptoms
