Brief Answer:
Frequent urination often suggests a bladder infection!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pressure pain and frequent urination. These symptoms are suggestive of a possible bladder infection. I suggest you get consulted for examination and a urine test. Most urinary tract infections require antibiotics for treatment. This can only be obtained from your treating physician. These are not suggestive of a recurrence of the diverticulitis.

For now, increase your water intake. Visit your doctor and keep me posted on the progress. If there is any more information you would want at this time, do not hesitate to ask me to address it.

Brief Answer:
Have you tried any measures to address constipation?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

For constipation, I recommend that you take fruits, vegetables, increased fiber, drink much water and exercise often. If these fail to address the constipation, we may want to use a short term laxative to help you with this.

I wish you well. Keep me updated on your progress.
