Diverticulitis is a common condition that occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) in the lining of the digestive tract become inflamed or infected. While diverticulosis, the formation of these pouches, is often asymptomatic, diverticulitis can cause significant discomfort and health complications. Treatment for diverticulitis typically depends on the severity of the condition, ranging from lifestyle modifications and medication to surgical intervention. In Lakewood, patients have access to a variety of treatment options provided by experienced healthcare providers, ensuring effective care and management.
