Effective Treatment Strategies For Diverticular Disease: Review

Maged Naser, Mohamed M. Nasr, Lamia H. Shehata

Abstract


The rate of colonic diverticulosis and diverticular disease rises worldwide. Most patients stay free of symptoms for life. Still, colonic diverticular disease, including acute diverticulitis, affects many people. It strains national health systems with direct and indirect costs. Experts now test treatments to find the best options. Fibre, non-absorbable antibiotics, and probiotics aid symptomatic but uncomplicated cases. 5-Aminosalicylic acid may stop acute diverticulitis. Yet solid proof for medical steps to block repeated attacks remains absent. This review covers how these treatments work and future outlooks.

Keywords
