Diverticular disease (DD) is a digestive disorder caused by enflamed diverticula, or pouches, in the colon. A common cause is constipation due to lack of fibre in the diet. Diverticulitis is very common, with about 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the UK and 300,000 in the USA. Symptoms are usually persistent abdominal pain plus disturbed bowel function (constipation or diarrhoea or alternating between the two). Diverticulitis sometimes becomes very severe leading to perforation of the bowel, forming an abscess or rarely peritonitis. This best-selling book looks at the treatment and self-management of DD - while the doctor can help, particularly with antibiotics, much can be done by the individual to minimise the effects of this condition. This new edition updates this best-selling book. Topics include: The medical treatment of diverticular disease Probiotics (‘good’ or ‘friendly’ live bacteria and yeasts said to be good for digestive health The increase of diverticular disease in the population Effects of diverticular disease

Colonic diverticula occur when mucosal and submucosal layers protrude through weak points in the muscle wall. Most patients with diverticular disease are asymptomatic, but some may experience abdominal pain without inflammation. Diverticular disease may develop as diverticulitis, with or without perforation, or diverticular hemorrhage. Episodes of acute diverticulitis present themselves with pain in the left or right lower quadrant, depending on the location of the diverticula. Patients may also exhibit fever or other non-specific symptoms like anorexia or nausea. This book provides a review of the symptoms, treatment options and long-term health outcomes of diverticular disease and diverticulitis. It also examines management strategies for acute complicated diverticulitis, and discusses diverticulitis of the right colon.

Over past several decades, an increasing number of cases of diverticulitis of colon have been reported making it a major health problem particularly in western countries. The distribution of the disease varies geographically with western population having prevalence rates of 5-45% and Asian population having prevalence rates of 13-25%. Although elderly people are more likely to develop diverticulitis, younger patients may also develop diverticular disease. In fact, it has been reported that disease in younger patients is more aggressive with higher rates of complication and recurrence. According to latest statistical reports acute diverticulitis accounts to nearly 200000 hospital admissions putting a burden of 2.7 billion dollars on healthcare system in America. Diverticular disease can cause significant symptoms, impair quality of life and can prove fatal if left untreated and is considered as the fifth most costly gastrointestinal disorder in the Western world. The book entitled, Diverticulitis; Diagnosis and Treatment, presents an up to date review of the medical and surgical management of diverticulitis. The book comprises of various topics discussing the background, epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, presentation, treatment both medical and surgical, and recent advances in the management of diverticulitis. The book will be academic interest for surgeons, physicians, gastroenterologists and Coloproctologists. The book can be used as a reference book by teachers, professionals and students.The main benefit of reading this book is that since this disease entity is common all over the world and its incidence is increasing and is a significant contributor of health care costs, all the relevant and latest information regarding this disease has been published in a comprehensive form which will be helpful to the students, academicians, researchers and professionals dealing with medical healthcare.

The book provides up-to-date information on all aspects of colonic diverticular disease, particularly common in Western countries. Most people suffering from it remain asymptomatic, while about 20% develop symptoms without complications, experiencing the so-called "Symptomatic Non-Complicated Diverticular Disease" (SUDD). 10-25% of this last group eventually develop diverticulitis, with or without complications. The incidence of diverticulitis and diverticular colon disease is increasing worldwide, and is becoming a significant burden for national health systems in terms of direct and indirect costs, also because its prevalence increases with age. Unfortunately, the disease pathogenesis is relatively unknown and several aetiological factors may play a role in its onset. The first parts of the book will deal with the disease epidemiology and etiopathogenesis, focusing on the roles of inflammation and dysbiosis as part of the pathophysiology of diverticular disease. The clinical spectrum, the diagnostic approach and differential diagnosis, medical and surgical treatments are described in the following sections. Written by experts in the field, the volume will be a unique and valuable resource for all clinicians, residents, and physicians involved in the management of this disease.

Diverticular disease was uncommon before the 20th century but is now one of the commonest health disorders in the Western world. Diverticular diseases are a group of health conditions that affect your gastrointestinal (digestive) tract. The most complicated form of diverticular disease is diverticulitis. Its symptoms are usually very uncomfortable, and in some cases, may result in serious complications. If it is left untreated, it can cause prolonged health problems. The symptoms of diverticulitis vary, ranging from mild to severe. The symptoms may be acute (appearing suddenly), or chronic (developing gradually over time). The most common symptom of diverticulitis is abdominal pain. North Americans and Europeans experience the abdominal pain on the left lower side (sigmoid colon), while in Asia it is usually on the right (ascending colon). But what causes diverticulitis really? Well, the disease diverticulitis develops when pouches form on your digestive tract, mostly in the colon (the large intestine). These pouches are known as diverticula. They form when weak spots balloon outward in your intestinal wall. It is important to note that inflammation and, in some cases, infection of the diverticula can cause diverticulitis. This can occur when partially digested food or feces blocks the diverticula opening. There is no single known cause of diverticular disease. Research and clinical experience has shown that multiple environmental and genetic factors may contribute to its development. Treatment prescribed for this condition depends on the severity of your condition.This book is a comprehensive guide on diverticulitis. It gives a detailed explanation of all you need to know about this condition including: *The anatomy & physiology of the gastrointestinal tract *A detailed literature on diverticulitis *Complications associated with the disease *Diagnostic procedure *Diet guide You'll be glad you got this guide... To your good health!!!

Diverticulitis is a condition that is uncommon and particularly hardly heard of by many, especially in places like Africa and Asia. Well, the reason is not farfetched... yes, the disease is rising in many Western countries, where diet contains lesser fiber compared to countries where fruits and vegetables are the main source of food. Besides that, it is also known that Diverticulitis is most common to patients whose age is 35 years and older. As a matter of fact, in the United States, data show that about half of the population of the patients are in their 60s, and older. Sadly, this disease comes silently. Yes, I mean it comes with few symptoms, or sometimes with none at all. However, symptoms may be present at the acute stage. And, the symptoms vary from patient to patient. Diverticulitis may lead to a serious disease that may have started as either a simple abscess of the pouches called diverticula to massive infection. But, I must say, the importance of early detection and proper medication are important in this kind of disease. Now, to be specific, Diverticulitis refers to the condition in which the diverticula that is usually found in the colon burst. Well, the truth is that the bursting happens due to infection in the tissues that surround it. How Does A Diverticula Form? Usually the muscular colon wall grows thicker without symptoms. This thickening increases pressure in the colon causing the colon to eject feculence. The possible culprit is a diet low in fiber...which can lead to production of hard feces, which in turn are difficult to discharge and requires extra pressure to the colon. Well, as a result, these hard feces allow the colon to close off from the rest of its parts, as the colonic muscle in the part contracts. Naturally, the pressure within these closed-parts becomes high, since, the pressure cannot be distributed to the other parts of the colon. What is more, as the pressure increases, there is a tendency that the inner intestinal lining pushes out the weak areas of the muscular walls. And when that happens, pouches or sacs are formed and these are called diverticula. What Are Diverticulitis Symptoms? Well, while early symptoms may not be available, but as the disorder progresses, you will experience noticeable changes that will be a telling sign that you have diverticulitis. Okay, I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but I want you to take the step to get a copy of the book today. Yes, with the book in your hand you will be able to start yourself in the diet that will help you avoid the condition at any age!
