Brief Answer:
diverticulum is not a cause of concern

Detailed Answer:
Hello.thanks for putting your query in hcm. Diverticulum is simply an outpouching of the intestinal wall. Presence of some diverticuli in intestine until they become symptomatic are of no concern. It is just an incidental finding. Most of the time they remain asymptomatic throughout life. So theee is nothing of concern and nothing to do at this moment of time. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you agood health.
