8. Urinary Tract Infections
Do you experience persistent UTIs? While UTIs often develop independent of diverticulitis, if you find that you experience UTI after UTI, this may be a sign that fistula has developed between your bladder and colon. However, this blockage by fistula most often occurs with males. Females have the uterus in between the bladder and the colon as a sort of barrier. In addition to UTIs, diverticulitis can cause other irritative urinary issues. These include the likes of an increased frequency in urination, urinary pain, vaginal discharge, and a decrease in control and urinary retention.
