Should I get diverticular resection surgery?

I had a flare up that was so painful I ended up in the ER and then hospitalized. My surgeon said I had a better chance of being reattached if I did the surgery electively after I healed( (otherwise there was a higher chance of needing a colostomy )
I did that. No Colostomy but lots of pelvic dysfunction after. Still dealing with that 1 year later!

I am beginning to have similar issues after robotic surgery to remove the sigmoid colon in February 2022. My surgery didn't end all the issues, but I believed it was part of the healing process. Now, I may need additional surgery to correct the first and scheduling tests to determine, but I am again on strong antibiotics.

Pelvic dysfunction. Please explain
