Key Points
- Ayon kay Dr Belinda Lorenzo isang GP sa Sydney, habang tumatanda ang isang tao, maaaring humina ang dingding ng malaking bituka at mabuo ang maliliit na supot sa labas nito, isang kondisyong tinatawag na diverticulosis.
- Kadalasang walang sintomas subalit kapag ang mga ito ay namaga o naimpeksyon, maaari itong mauwi sa kondisyong tinatawag na diverticulitis.
- Mas mataas ang risk ng diverticulosis sa mga taong may low-fibre diet, madalas constipated o hirap dumumi, tumatanda, overweight, naninigarilyo, kulang sa ehersisyo, at umiinom ng ilang gamot tulad ng anti-inflammatory pain relievers.
Older adults are at higher risk of diverticulosis, especially with low-fibre diets, constipation, smoking, alcohol, overweight, lack of exercise, or certain medications. If the pouches become inflamed or infected, it can develop into diverticulitis.Dr Belinda Lorenzo, General Practitioner Sydney Australia
