Are gay guys more likely to suffer from diverticulitis ?

I have this dear friend of mine who is gay and lives with his boyfriend. He was taken to the hospital last night (he is 27) and diagnosed with diverticulitis. Could this condition be caused by anal sex? He told me he was too embarrassed to ask the doctor.

it might be but most likely not. diverticulitis has to do with the large intestine block by food or other particles and includes extreme constipation. hope hes okay and i know as hard as it is (and sometimes embarrassing) he really should be open with his doctors. it could save his life.

Although not proven, the dominant theory is that a low-fiber diet causes diverticular disease. The disease was first noticed in the United States in the early 1900s, around the time processed foods were introduced into the American diet. Consumption of processed foods greatly reduced Americans’ fiber intake.

Anal sex has nothing to do with getting this disease. Men and women can get it.

i don't think so. But he is pretty young to be getting this disease o.o Maybe he just doesn't get enough fiber. But i honestly don't know, i just really feel like anal sex has nothing major to do with it. However, if somehow he managed to get a tear in his colon from it, that might be a different story…but i don't know how someones penis could do that <_<.. But once again, i dont know much.

no, everyone eventually gets this to greater or lesser degree. It usually occurs in the intestines. That's a little far up for sex to be a big issue, but he really should talk to his doctor, about diet and family history etc…

I work in medical imaging and I can tell you they have nothing to do with each other.

Yes. Anal sex is a risk factor for various injuries and diseases.
