Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
yes you may, i just underwent a ct with and without contrast. the doctor informed me i have 2 pockets in my intestine, inflamed but not infected and is diverticulitis. Is this serious? She claims no treatment is required except to alter my diet. Is it really as simple as that?
HI Well come to HCM Your query is appreciate, seriousness of disease depends upon the symptoms and clinical condition and symptoms may be severe if the disease is pathologically spread enough, in your case if you do not have serious condition then it is nothing to worry, it may not be simple and can not be taken as granted but it need close observation for clinical symptoms, condition may need surgery, better to have second opinion, you have not mentioned the clinical symptoms that you have, your detail query will be appreciated, hope this information helps.
