ct scan of abdomen

by danarene, Sep 03, 2008 04:05PM
My gyn sent me in for a routine ct scan of my abdomen because of planning scar tissue surgery. I recieved a call from the nurse stating they were sending me to a GI for something because it looked like I had diverticulitis and severe infection in which they perscribed two antibiotics. If after all the antibiotics are gone, why can't he go ahead and do the scar tissue surgery? Isn't diverticulitis just an ordinary conditon? They said they were gonna wait and see what the GI says. Can they tell the difference between diverticulitis and colon cancer on the ct scan? I've just read it is pretty ordinary, and I can't understand why they have to wait once the infection is gone. Thanks,
