Symptoms of Diverticulitis in TCM:
Diverticulitis per say can have bloating and constipation and if the sacs become severely infected, then fever, nausea and vomiting may also occur. In Chinese medical terms, depending on the cause, other associated symptoms such as tiredness, insomnia, lack of appetite and shortness of breath may also be present.

Symptoms of Diverticulitis in Western Medicine:
Diverticula are common in the Western world but are rare in areas such as Asia and Africa. Diverticula increase with age. They are uncommon before the age of 40, but are seen in more than 74% of people over the age of 80 years. A person with diverticulosis usually has few or no symptoms. The most common symptoms associated with diverticulosis are abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. In some of these patients the symptoms may be due to the concomitant presence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or abnormalities in the function of the muscles of the sigmoid colon (in which case it is referred to as diverticular disease); simple diverticula should cause no symptoms. Occasionally, bleeding originates from a diverticulum, and it is referred to as diverticular bleeding.
