General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Yes you should do colonoscopy to see the degree of diverticulosis and extent of it. It may cause significant problems in future and if there will be frequent attacks of diverticulitis you should definitely consider surgical resection of involved part of colon. Till that you should take probotics and easier diet.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
