It may be necessary to have a colostomy if you are suffering from an illness which inhibits the function of the colon; such illnesses can include Crohn's disease, bowel cancer and diverticulitis. Diverticultitis is a condition which affects the wall of the colon; small pouches form on this wall and become swollen, this can cause severe pain, nausea and a soaring temperature. If you are suffering from one of these illnesses your consultant or team of healthcare staff will be able to explain the options and advise you with reference to the best treatment.
