5. Nausea and Vomiting: Unpleasant Manifestations of Diverticulosis
Nausea and vomiting are less common but possible symptoms of diverticulosis. These symptoms may arise as a result of inflammation or infection in the diverticula, leading to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and the body’s natural response to expel the irritant.
In addition to nausea and vomiting, individuals with diverticulosis may also experience a general feeling of malaise or fatigue, as the body diverts energy and resources to fight the inflammation or infection. In some cases, these symptoms may be accompanied by a low-grade fever, further indicating the presence of an underlying issue that requires medical attention.
If you experience persistent or severe nausea and vomiting, it is essential to seek medical advice. Your healthcare provider can determine the cause of these symptoms and recommend appropriate treatments to alleviate discomfort and address the underlying condition. (5)
