Diverticulitis is a common disease of the bowel, in particular the large intestine. In this condition the diverticuli (a circumscribed pouch or sac) in the large intestine rupture. The rupture results in infection in the tissues that surround the colon causing inflammation of the diverticuli. The infection may cause formation of abscesses in small intestine.

The most common symptoms of diverticular disease include pain in the lower left side of abdomen, constipation, vomiting, difficulty or pain while urinating, frequent urination and bloating.
