@queenie52 Have you had a CT scan? I'd ask the docs about any concerns with a colovesical fistula. Don't freak out, I'm not trying to make you nervous. But with diverticulitis one of the complications can be a fistula which creates a connection to the bladder (or other organs) and causes bladder infections and UTIs. Again, don't freak - and you probably already discussed this with your doc. I just saw this comment and wouldn't feel right not bringing this up for you to ask about and discuss with your doc if you haven't already.

Yes I had a CT scan the last week of July prior to seeing the colorectal surgeon and it was normal. I wondered that myself so I did ask if it showed a fistula and he assured me it did not.
