Diverticulitis is a condition characterized by inflammation or infection of diverticula in the colon. Understanding its symptoms is crucial for diagnosis and management.
Diverticulitis symptoms are diverse, ranging from abdominal pain and altered bowel habits to systemic signs of infection. Extraintestinal symptoms and chronic presentations that resemble other bowel disorders can complicate diagnosis. The condition's impact on quality of life and its potential to mimic other diseases underscore the importance of accurate recognition and management of its various manifestations.
