Diverticulosis & Cancer

What Is Diverticulosis ?

Diverticulosis is a condition marked by the formation of diverticula—small pouch-like herniations along the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. Most commonly, diverticula appear in the left side of the colon; rarely, they also develop as far up as the throat (pharynx). As many as half of all Americans over the age of 50 have diverticulosis, although few ever have any noticeable symptoms. Diverticulosis only requires treatment if it causes discomfort (painful diverticular disease) or complications.

Causes

Diverticula are thought to be caused by increased pressure within the lumen of the colon. Increased intra-colonic pressure secondary to constipation may lead to weaknesses in the colon walls, giving way to diverticula…

Conditions

• if you experience severe abdominal pain, with or without fever or abdominal bloating.
• if you notice a change in your bowel habits that lasts longer than two weeks, especially if you also experience rectal bleeding…

How do these conditions occur ?

Although the exact cause of diverticulosis is unknown, it becomes more prevalent with age and there appears to be a familial incidence. One theory is that diverticula occur when pressure, such as that caused by constipation, builds up inside the colon and makes the intestinal wall balloon out in spots where the wall is weak.

Diagnosis

Since diverticulosis is often asymptomatic (without symptoms), it tends to be discovered during examinations for other conditions such as colorectal cancer…

Tests to confirm the diagnosis of diverticular disease include : -

• Medical history – including dietary habits.
• Physical examination – including rectal examination.

Treatment

Following prevention tips for diet (especially incorporating fiber) and exercise is important to prevent diverticulosis. Your doctor may recommend a bulking laxative containing the fiber psyllium or an artificial fiber like calcium polycarbophil.

complications

Some of the complications of diverticular disease include : -

• Abscess – untreated, diverticulitis may lead to an abscess (a ball of pus).
• Perforation – a weakened pocket of bowel wall may rupture. The contents of the bowel can then seep into the abdominal cavity. Symptoms include pain, high fever and chills. A perforated bowel is a medical emergency.

Risk factors : -

• a diet that is low in fiber content or high in fat
• high intake of meat and red meat
• increasing age
