What Is Diverticulosis?
Diverticulosis is a condition that occurs within the large intestine. It has a high degree of prevalence in the United States. The disease is indicated by the presence of pouches or small sacs called diverticula.
The diverticula form when the inner lining of your intestines pushes through weak spots in the outer wall. The condition can occur anywhere along your digestive tract; however, most frequently it occurs in the colon, which is the lower portion of the large intestine.
