Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Diverticula are outpouchings from normal wall of gut. The inner layer of the intestine pushes through weak spots in the outer lining. This pressure makes them bulge out, making little pouches. Cause is not clearly known. However, muscular spasm, straining are common causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
