Diverticulosis not necessarily linked with pain or abnormal bowel habits, study finds
The novel study used patient diaries that recorded pain and bowel movements.
Patients with uncomplicated diverticulosis are no more likely than those without the condition to experience abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits, a novel study has found.
The first population-based study where patients with diverticulosis kept prospective diaries shows diverticulosis is unlikely to explain such symptoms, according to the research team of Australian and Swedish gastroenterologists.
