What is Diverticular disease?
Diverticular disease, also known as diverticulosis, is the presence of outpouchings (diverticulae) in the gastrointestinal tract, most frequently in the colon. They are seen in elderly persons whose diet is low in fibre. Infection of colonic diverticulae results in diverticulis which presents as right lower quadrant pain and guarding. Diverticulae can also be a cause of lower GI bleed (malena).
