Diverticulitis Treatment In New Jersey

Diverticulitis is similar to many inflammatory bowel diseases and can be the cause of some severe discomfort. If you’re worried that you might be suffering from this condition, NYBG Colorectal is ready to help with diverticulitis treatment that will restore your full quality of life.

Understanding Diverticulitis

As with many issues that we treat here at NYBG Colorectal, diverticulitis can be difficult to pinpoint based solely on its symptoms. This is because many of the symptoms that come along with diverticulitis are shared by a number of other colorectal issues. For this reason, it’s important to come in for an in-person consultation and exam with Dr. Kulvir Nandra or another member of our highly experienced team. We can help you identify your specific issue, isolate the root cause of your discomfort, and craft a treatment plan that once again sees you enjoying your life the way you know you should. When you’re ready to learn more about how we can treat your diverticulitis, a member of our team is standing by to help out! Simply reach out to our New Jersey office and set up your consultation today.

How Do I Know I Have Diverticulitis?

Unfortunately, diverticulitis comes along with symptoms that can also be seen with issues like stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, and other problems that relate to high levels of gastrointestinal inflammation. Coming in for a proper exam is the only way to know for sure that you’re dealing with diverticulitis, so we recommend scheduling an appointment with us if you’ve been experiencing any of the following:

Frequent nausea
Constipation
Diarrhea
Vomiting with or without a fever
Abdominal tenderness
Changes in bowel movement patterns
Visibly bloody stool

Effective Treatments for Diverticulitis

When diverticulitis is caught early on, conservative treatments can actually be quite successful. For relatively mild cases, antibiotics, dietary adjustments, and lots of bed rest can be sufficient to clear away the issue. When severe pain is present, IV antibiotics can help speed up the process.

If diverticulitis causes a complication like peritonitis, then surgery may be required to remove the affected section of the colon. Known as a colon resection surgery, this can require two separate operations if an infection is present. During your consultation, Dr. Nandra will discuss your options with you.

Over 90% of patients who undergo colon resection surgery are able to enjoy their lives without any recurrence of their diverticulitis. This makes colon resection surgery a highly effective solution, though it is typically reserved as a last resort.
