A member asked:
Can bowel movement cause more pain when you have diverticulitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, : The straining with having a bowel movement could cause additional abdominal pain during an episode of diverticulitis. This will not however make the diverticulitis worse. Remember that you need to be under the care of a doctor if you have diverticulitis and abdominal pain.
