Suggest Treatment For Diverticulitis
I was diagnose with Diverticulitis. Doctor said I had a hole in my colon. I had a lot of infection and it was cleared up with a lot of antibotics. I said in the hospital for 8 days. Now on Monday I am having a Colon Resection. He will take 25% of my colon. Questions: Did the waste go into my abdomen? It was a lot of pus sacs. Also how much is 25%.

Hi,
This surgery is necessary; afterwards you will need to continue on corticosteroids to avoid recurrences.
I hope you find this helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
