Diverticular Disease treatment in Chihuahua

Diverticular disease refers to the presence of small pouches or sacs (diverticula) that form in the wall of the large intestine, usually in the colon, and that can sometimes become inflamed or infected.

Common causes: It is associated with age, low-fiber diets, and factors related to pressure within the intestine, although many people have no complaints.

Common symptoms: When there are symptoms, they may include lower abdominal pain, changes in bowel rhythm, distension or, in cases of inflammation, fever and more intense pain.

Which specialist treats it? The proctologist, the general surgeon, or the general practitioner are the ones who guide its study. When there is persistent abdominal pain or bleeding, the most prudent thing is to have the condition checked by one of these professionals.
