Patient's question:
A few days ago, during a health check-up, I found out that I have a duodenal diverticulum. The doctor said it's not very large and can be completely removed through surgery. I'd like to ask what are the treatment methods for a duodenal diverticulum? What should I pay attention to before undergoing this treatment? What foods should I avoid? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Generally, this condition is primarily treated through surgery. If it doesn't interfere with the body, surgery may not be necessary. In daily life, you can manage it with medications that support stomach health. If the condition affects stomach function, surgery is usually the best option. Once the diverticulum is removed, the problem is generally resolved.If you have this condition, it's important to pay attention to avoiding foods that stimulate the stomach. For example, avoid drinking beer, eating spicy foods, or consuming foods that are difficult to digest.
