diverticulosis
Diverticulosis is a medical condition where small pouches, known as diverticula, form along the wall of the digestive tract, usually in the colon. These pouches can cause discomfort, bloating, and changes in bowel movement patterns if they become irritated or inflamed. However, many people with diverticulosis exhibit no symptoms. This condition is common among older adults, particularly those over the age of 40, and is often associated with a low-fiber diet.

Diverticulosis
Diverticulosis, also known as "diverticular disease", is the condition of having diverticula in the colon, which are outpocketings of the colonic mucosa and submucosa through weaknesses of muscle layers in the colon wall. These are more common in the sigmoid colon, which is a common place for increased pressure. This is uncommon before the age of 40, and increases in incidence after that age.
