Suggest Treatment For Diverticulosis

Just had cat scan to monitor abcess previously seen when hospitalized for diverticulosis attack. The reading today showed abcess has shrunk ,however radiologist made ref to hypodensities on dome of the liver too small to characterize and a previously noted 2cm lesion on the right adrenal gland. Does this sound like a spreading cancer or something? I m really concerned about the too small to characterize spots on my liver

Hi,

Noted the history colonoscopy finding of diverticulosis. This means the colon has out-pouching. This happens due to the hard stools, less fibers one takes. These diverticula are more prone to infection and inflammation and cause of pain in the abdomen if get infected. Dietary changes can help you a lot. Some case may need surgery.

Inflammation in the stomach can be due to overproduction of acid due to eating habits, stress and anxiety, overwork, less sleep and so on. Take a PPI, antacid, reduce the stress levels, have small frequent meals and have 8 hours of long sleep, you will be fine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
