10 Diverticulitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Stomach Pain
As the infection progresses and the inflammation sets in, most patients experience mild to severe stomach pain. Their stomach pain is usually accompanied by stomach cramps, rigidity, and the previously mentioned digestive problems.
Most patients complain of stomach pain in their lower left side of their stomach. However, in some cases, patients describe their pain in their lower right side of the abdomen, a symptom which is considered to develop due to genetic reasons, usually among Asian patients. Stomach pain makes diagnosing diverticulitis a bit tricky since it is a symptom that occurs due to so many different digestive issues and diagnosis.
