Is diverticulosis and diverticulotis the same things?

In: Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. The first, diverticulosis is a condition, or disease, if you will. The second, diverticulotis, is what happens when the condition becomes active. With diverticulosis, your colon has little pouches that extend from the sides. Think of it like a long tube with little pouches protruding ever so often. Those aren't normal, but many people have them, without ever having any issues. When Diverticulotis occurs, something gets into one of the pouches and causes an infection. The cure is antibiotics. For some people, this happens too often. After the first few incidents, a Dr. may determine that it's necessary to remove the affected part of the colon.
