A member asked:
I have sigmoid diverculitist and is it possible for that part of the colon to be on the right of the abdomen and give me tenderness ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rarely (situs : In versus) where the organs are all switched right to left.. Sometimes just below the diaphragm and sometimes also above in the chest. That should be picked up in infancy.. There are most likely other reasons for your discomfort.
