A condition where the intestines sag or drop downward from their normal position due to weakness in the supporting tissues.
From Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'ptosis' (falling or drooping, from 'piptein' meaning to fall). The '-ptosis' suffix describes any organ sagging or falling from its normal position.
Enteroptosis is basically a 'dropped intestine'—your abdominal muscles get weak and your guts literally sag like a hammock with too much weight, which can cause pain and digestive problems that confused doctors for centuries.
