Diverticulum contains all layers of colon wall. The acquired diverticulum is herniated by the mucosa through the weakness of the muscular layer of the intestinal wall.

Second, when acute diverticulitis attacks, there are different degrees of localized abdominal pain, which can be tingling, dull pain and colic. Most of the pain sites are in the left lower abdomen, occasionally in the suprapubic, right lower abdomen, or the whole lower abdomen.
