Many people are confused. Is the correct name Diverticulitis orDiverticulosis? Or is it something else?
Diverticulosis (Also called Divertiular Disease) is the name for a medical condition in which small pouches protrude outward from the colon. Thecolon is also called the large intestine. Each pocket is called aDiverticulum. When more than one pocket is present, they are collectively referred to as Diverticula.
It is estimated roughly 10% or more of all people in the Unites States, age 60 and above suffer from Diverticulosis.
