Ileocecal diverticulitis may be caused by fecal blockage in the intestines, hard feces and so on.
1. Fecal blockage: patients with ileocecal diverticulitis may be due to fecal blockage of the opening of the diverticulum, making it difficult to discharge pollutants within the diverticulum, which may induce diverticulitis in the long run.
2. Hard stools: If the patient has a long-term low-fiber diet, insufficient water intake, and poor bowel habits, it will lead to dry and hard stools, and the dry and hard stools may friction and damage the local mucosal tissues of the diverticulum, and bacteria invade in the damaged area, which may trigger diverticulitis.
If patients have ileocecal diverticulitis, they should go to the hospital in time for a clear diagnosis and standardized treatment to reduce the adverse effects of the disease on the body.
