Diverticulitis occurs when infection develops from a hard piece of stool or undigested food that gets trapped in one of the pouches developed in your digestive tract. Symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and a change in bowel habits. The mainstay of treatment for diverticulitis typically involves dietary modifications, antibiotics to treat the infection if present, pain management, and in severe cases, surgery may be required.

Risk factors: If left untreated diverticulitis may lead to abscess, fistula, bleeding hemorrhage, peritonitis, bowel & Intestinal obstruction
