Diverticular disease refers to conditions that involve small bulges or pouches (diverticula) that form in the walls of the colon. When these pouches become inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis.
This can lead to symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Diverticulosis refers to the presence of these pouches without any associated inflammation or symptoms.
