Diverticulitis symptoms

irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, occasional diarrheas and thin stools sometimes shaped as pellets. Tenderness in the left lower abdomen can also be one of the symptoms of diverticulitis.

Pain when pressuring on the left side of the left abdomen is also indicative of a sigmoid diverticulosis problem which may have turned into diverticulitis.

A minor part (around 25%) of patients with diverticulitis also have a problem when urinating.

Sigmoid diverticulosis diagnosis

Looking at a patients medical history is very important for the correct diagnosis of sigmoid diverticulosis.

Since sigmoid diverticulosis usually causes no symptoms unless it has gone into complications, the condition is often found whenever there is a colon examination for other causes. Typical colon examinations are X-ray using barium enema, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy using an endoscope.

Diagnosing sigmoid diverticulitis (diverticulosis) with a gastrografin enema is sometimes useful. That is a varant of the more commonly used barium enema.

When diagnosing diverticulosis, your doctor will normally use an instrument called an endoscope. The so called colonoscopy exams are made through rectum with the endoscope, which is an illuminated flexible "periscope" like instrument used to inspect the inside of the colon.

In preparation for surgery, especially where there are risks of complications, a section view can be obtained using computer tomography over the abdomen area.

Diverticulitis, in the acute phase, will result in severe abdominal pain in the lower left region, tenderness and fever. There will also be an increasing CRP reading.
Other symptoms of sigmoid diverticulitis (diverticulosis) are an increased leucocyte count and increased blood sedimentation.

In the diagnosing of a patient, it is recommended to do a physical examination, a urin analysis and a complete blood count. Also when indicated, x-rays of the abdomen. Abdominal ultrasound can also be used to diagnose sigmoid diverticulitis (diverticulosis).

Sigmoid diverticulosis (diverticulitis) symptoms can be confused with:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, appendicitis, colon cancer, rectal cancer, pyelonefritis, salpingitis, endometritis, ovarial cysts.

Sigmoid diverticulitis (diverticulosis) symptoms can also be very similar to ischemic colitis and certain gynecological and urological diseases.
