What to look for when you have diverticula

If you have intestinal diverticulum, it is recommended that you should pay attention to adjusting dietary structure, appropriate exercise and regular review.
1. Adjust the dietary structure: maintain good eating habits, consume more cabbage, spinach and other foods rich in dietary fiber to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation; avoid spicy and stimulating foods, which may lead to mucosal congestion and edema.
2. Appropriate exercise: Promote gastrointestinal peristalsis by increasing exercise to prevent excessive food residues from entering the diverticulum, which will further aggravate the condition.
3. Regular checkups: when the diverticulum is small, patients usually have no obvious symptoms, but after the diverticulum increases in size, it leads to infection, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. It is recommended that patients should have regular review of colonoscopy to avoid delaying the condition.
It is recommended to consult the hospital and standardize the examination and treatment.
