A member asked:
Would diverticulitis cause pain during bowel movements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: It depends on the location of the pain; typical might be left lower abdomen or pelvic, associated with the sigmoid colon inflammation. If you are having fevers or all-over abdominal pain, or signs of infection you should see your doctor; consider taking a daily fiber supplement.
