What Does Diverticulosis Coli Noted In Left Side Of Colon Mean?

If I had a abdomen w/wo and pelvis ct and the readings said I had small microcysts in the liver. Suggestion of a small fixed filling defect within the gallbladder. And small paraumbilical hernia which contains only fat. Diverticulosis coli noted in the left side of the colon including the sigmoid colon.
What does this mean?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Diveticulosis means out pouching of the colon due to infection / inflammation in the bowel.
2.Liver shows simple fluid filled structures with thin wall with out vascularity - for which you don't have to worry but just needs monitored.
3.Filling defect in the gall bladder suggest presence of polyp / mass - also needs follow up.
4.Paraumblical region anterior abdominal wall shows a defect - through which there is fat content within depending on the defect size - operative procedure is treatment of choice.
5.Complications in diverticulosis is perforation. Suggest to see gastroenterologist for further evaluation / treatment.
