How Can Diverticulitis Be Treated?
I had a colonoscopy...and the finding was a limited to transverse colon.. Sigmoid diverticulosis noted. Recommend ct colonography vs barium enema for a further evaluation of the colon. I considered surgical evaluation for recurrent diverticulitis... I don t want a bag

Hello,
Surgery is the last resort for diverticulosis. Symptoms persist you can go for resection of affected part of the bowel. Colostomy( bag) is not required in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
