Achalasia Treatment

At Mubadala Health Dubai, our gastroenterology specialists provide structured assessment and personalized treatment plans for diverticulitis, focusing on symptom relief, prevention of recurrence, and long-term digestive health.

Symptoms of Diverticulitis

Symptoms range from mild to more severe, and often develop suddenly.

Common signs include:

• Persistent abdominal pain, usually on the lower left side
• Fever and chills
• Nausea or vomiting
• Abdominal tenderness or bloating
• Changes in bowel habits, including constipation or diarrhea
• Loss of appetite

If symptoms become severe or continue to worsen, it’s recommended that you seek medical evaluation quickly to reduce the risk of complications such as abscess formation or bowel perforation (a hole or tear in the wall of the small or large intestine, constituting a severe medical emergency).

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Early and accurate diagnosis allows our medical team guide the most appropriate treatment and identify whether complications are present.

At Mubadala Health Dubai, assessment includes:

• Obtaining a detailed clinical evaluation and medical history
• CT scan imaging to confirm inflammation and assess severity
• Blood tests to detect infection or markers of inflammation
• Colonoscopy after recovery to evaluate the colon and exclude other underlying conditions

This structured diagnostic pathway allows our specialists to plan treatment based on the severity of your condition and your individual health needs.

Treatment and Management of Diverticulitis

Treatment depends on how severe the inflammation is and whether complications are present.

Management can often include:

• Oral antibiotics and temporary dietary adjustments for mild cases
• Intravenous antibiotics and supportive care in hospital for more severe symptoms
• Pain management and hydration support
• Surgical treatment in complicated or recurrent cases when necessary

Alongside treating the acute episode, our dedicated team also prioritizes reducing the likelihood of recurrence through personalized dietary guidance, including gradual increases in fiber intake where appropriate, and practical, easily implementable, lifestyle modifications.

When to Seek Medical Advice

You should consider prompt medical assessment if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent lower abdominal pain
• Fever along with digestive symptoms
• Nausea or vomiting that does not improve
• Changes in bowel habits that persist for several days
• Symptoms that worsen in severity

It’s important to note that early treatment can significantly help prevent complications and support a faster recovery.
