Symptom 10. Urinary Symptoms
Diverticulitis can sometimes cause urinary symptoms due to the close proximity of the colon and urinary tract. Inflammation and infection in the colon can lead to irritation or pressure on the bladder, which can manifest as urinary frequency, urgency, or pain during urination.
Urinary symptoms can be distressing and may significantly impact your daily life. If you’re experiencing urinary issues along with other signs of diverticulitis, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional. They can help determine whether diverticulitis is the underlying cause or if another condition, such as a urinary tract infection, is responsible.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage urinary symptoms, prevent complications, and improve your overall well-being. (9)
