Symptom 4. Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are other symptoms that may indicate the presence of diverticulitis. Although these symptoms are less common than abdominal pain and changes in bowel movements, they can still be a sign of this condition.
The nausea and vomiting associated with diverticulitis can be caused by several factors. Inflammation and infection of the diverticula can irritate the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to feelings of nausea. In more severe cases, an obstruction in the colon may cause vomiting as the body attempts to clear the blockage.
It’s essential to seek medical attention if you experience persistent nausea and vomiting, as these symptoms could be indicative of diverticulitis or another serious condition. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve your overall well-being. (3)
