6Other Symptoms
In addition to these common symptoms, there are many other complications that would happen in people with diverticulitis. For instance, an abscess would occur due to bacterial infections and lead to a pocket of pus and blood. Fistula, a tunnel forming in your body, would trigger swelling, pain, or breaks in the skin when you pass stools or urinate. Bowel obstruction would also happen and lead to many health issues such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or distention. Last but not least, a perforation would occur in people with diverticulitis. This is a serious condition with severe pain and bleeding. Immediate medical attention is needed to prevent further complications. [6]
