New Approach to Treat Diverticulitis

Due to increase in pressure on the colon, the outer wall of the colon becomes weak a bulges forming a sac like structure. When these sac like structures known as diverticulosis get infected then the condition is known as diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is nastily painful and can turn out to be very harmful also.
There was much confusion in determining the exact cause of the increase in pressure on the colon which ultimately causes Diverticulitis. Earlier it was perceived that a lot of fiber in the food probably affects the digestive system. As they are a bit difficult to digest, they are the cause of the high pressure on the colon. However, since this theory did not seem much useful in the treatment of diverticulitis it was discarded. Then it was believed that little content of the fiber in the food causes partial and improper digestion. So people were referred a lot of fiber in their diet to fight diverticulitis. Although this theory is not completely futile, it has still failed to go to the root cause of diverticulitis. Since the cause is unknown and the research done on it inconclusive, the doctors can only give medicines and operate if the condition is very bad.
However recent researches reveal that the cause of the pressure on the colon is as much cultural as it is medicinal. The root of this problem is associated with answering the nature's call. This approach has opened completely new avenues for Diverticulitis Treatment. The society prohibits us from passing our waste products any time and anywhere. It has always been taught to hold the urge to pass bowel if there is no proper toilet around. This has happened with almost everyone at some or the other point of time in life when there is a big urge to use the bathroom but due to lack of proper facilities or even absence the urge is withheld. The intestine keeps on contracting while anal sphincter is closed so to stop the urge. However, this is the major cause of exertion of pressure on the colon. Another big problem is of flatus retention. People are taught to hold the gas in public and in front of other people. People who spend a lot of time with others are more prone to diverticulitis like the professionals.
Although it is not possible to always answer to the nature's call or fart but one should strike a balance as the best way to fight diverticulitis is to answering the natures call as many times one has urge to.
