What is Diverticular Disease?


Diverticular disease is extremely common and generally increases with frequency with age. However, in certain areas of the World, it can affect younger adults more frequently. It also commonly affects young adults and children with Williams Syndrome. Its cause remains unknown.

Diverticular Disease is a group of conditions that affect the large intestine [colon] and which includes:

Asymptomatic diverticulosis: outpouching of colon mucosa on a background of neurological changes in the bowel wall, without symptoms.

Symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease: outpouching of colon mucosa on a background of neurological changes in the bowel wall, with symptoms of an irritable colon. Symptoms may include constipation, diarrhoea / increased frequency of stools, bloating, abdominal pain and increased frequency of flatus. The clinical picture may overlap with but is distinct from those of irritable bowel syndrome. Advice on Diet, in particular on dietary fibre, is thought to be important, but is not the only aspect of treatment.

Complicated diverticular disease: outpouching of colon mucosa on a background of neurological changes in the bowel wall, with symptoms related to complications such as bleeding, inflammation [diverticulitis], constipation, bowel stricture [narrowing], fistula formation with other abdominal organs, bowel perforation and abscess formation. Many older female patients develop debilitating symptoms of faecal incontinence, coexisting with their diverticular symptoms.
