Bleeding that occurs within or from the intestines, resulting in blood loss into the intestinal tract.
Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'hemorrhage' (from 'haima' meaning blood + 'rhegnynai' meaning to break or burst). This compound medical term describes the rupture of blood vessels in the intestines.
Your intestines have thousands of tiny blood vessels—when they rupture, even slightly, it can be serious because blood loss in the digestive tract can be hard to detect.
