Diverticular Disease
Diverticular disease is divided into two types, including diverticulitis and diverticulosis. Both conditions could result in intense pain and bloody stool. Diverticulosis happens when diverticula or pouches form in your colon, then grow out of the colonic walls and spread to other areas. Though it is often attributable to a diet with low fiber, the precise cause is still unknown. Your doctor could help to stop bleeding due to diverticula via abdominal surgery or endoscopy. For diverticulitis, it could be treated with the use of antibiotics. When surgery is necessary, doctors often wait until the infection has been properly treated. [2]
