Diverticula are protrusions of different shapes resembling small sacs. They are located on the inside of the intestine and bulge outward. Diverticulums are conditionally divided into true and false. True protrusion is a consequence of pathology, false - an abnormal class of intestinal development. The appearance of pseudopathologies is due to the fact that in the lumen of the gut the pressure rises, and the muscular walls of the organ are weakened and they show tears that lead to protrusion of the mucous through them.
Many patients are interested in the process of occurrence of these pathological saccate protrusions. Specialists note that diverticulosis for the most part provokes a malnutrition of people in the elderly, who have an anatomical weakening of the walls of the digestive tract. In the case when almost no fiber is used for food, there are disorders of the stool. This is facilitated by a low-activity lifestyle. Hardened fecal masses pass through the intestines for a longer time, because of which the pressure in it rises and the mucosa begins to bulge through the holes in the walls, provoking the formation of false diverticula. Also, the increase in intestinal pressure can be caused by frequent straining during the act of defecation.
In most cases, the appearance of false diverticulum of the intestine is not accompanied by any symptoms and is revealed quite by accident. But complications can also arise - this is the perforation( breakthrough) of them into the abdominal cavity, which contributes to the development of peritonitis and the appearance of massive internal bleeding. Both of these complications are provoked by the inflammatory process and can result in death if there is no adequate treatment.
In those cases when bacterial inflammation develops in the cavity of false pathological protrusions due to prolonged constipation in large quantities, bacterial inflammation develops - diverticulitis. When the negative pocket is clogged with hard feces or if there is a narrow entrance hole in the intestinal wall, blood supply is disturbed, which also leads to the development of this pathology. All the complications that arise in connection with the inflammation of false diverticula, are marked by severe symptoms. Painful sensations during the inflammation of pathologies are acute, the general well-being of the patient worsens, he has a fever, fever and a fever. To prevent these negative symptoms from appearing to patients at risk, it is recommended that you adjust the diet correctly and start a healthy and active lifestyle.
