After recovering from diverticulitis, some patients are advised to have a colonoscopy, depending on their history and screening status.
A colonoscopy lets doctors examine the colon lining and confirm there are no other problems. Your doctor will recommend the right timing.
Pin Tip
Ask whether a colonoscopy is recommended for you and when.
Talk to Your Doctor
This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diverticular disease affects people differently, so follow the diet and treatment plan your own doctor recommends.
When to Get Help Quickly
Seek prompt medical care for severe or worsening abdominal pain, fever, persistent vomiting, rectal bleeding, or being unable to keep fluids down. Call 911 for severe pain with signs of an emergency.
Quick Reminder
Keep a simple food and symptom journal. Patterns can help you and your doctor make better decisions.
