What is Diverticulitis?
Diverticulitis happens when small pouches form in the walls of the large intestine, trapping undigested food or waste, which can lead to inflammation or infection. This condition is a serious infection and is considered the second stage of diverticular disease.
When to See Doctor?
It’s important that you see a doctor about a week after your diverticulitis symptoms begin to show. Typically, within four to eight weeks, they'll set up a colonoscopy to monitor healing and spot any potential issues in your colon.
If your symptoms persist, worsen, or reappear after reintroducing foods into your diet, it's vital to follow up with your healthcare provider. Charleston GI is open 5 days a week with a board-certified team of gastroenterologists to offer an examination, diagnosis and treatment. No referral needed! Schedule an appointment today!
