ICD-11

The name diverticulosis is used merely to indicate the presence of multiple diverticula in the large intestine, with or without the accompanying muscle abnormalities found in classical diverticular disease. The condition of having multiple pouches (diverticula) is called diverticulosis. Most people with diverticulosis do not have any discomfort or symptoms. However, some people may experience crampy pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, bloating, and constipation.

This is the condition of having diverticula in the large intestine, which are outpocketings of the mucosa and submucosa through weaknesses of muscle layers in the wall of the large intestine, without haemorrhage.
