    Diverticular disease is caused by small pouches forming in the lining of the digestive system, usually in the lower colon. Risk factors include smoking, lack of exercise, low-fiber diets, constipation, and obesity. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and changes in bowel habits. Diagnosis involves tests like colonoscopy, ultrasound, or CT scan. Treatment ranges from antibiotics and bed rest for mild cases to surgery to remove the affected part of the colon for more severe cases. Complications can arise if the pouches become infected or rupture.
