A condition where the colon abnormally drops or sags down in the abdominal cavity, sometimes causing pain or digestive problems.
From Greek 'kolon' (colon) + 'ptosis' (falling or sagging). The Greek suffix '-ptosis' appears in many medical terms describing organs that have shifted from their normal position.
Your organs aren't glued in place—they're held by tissues and ligaments, so weight loss or weak abdominal muscles can actually cause your colon to literally droop like a tired rope!
