Bleeding from the intestines, causing blood to appear in the stool or be lost internally in the digestive tract.
From Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'rhagia' (bursting forth or bleeding, from 'rhegnynai' meaning to break). The '-rhagia' suffix specifically indicates excessive bleeding from an organ.
Enterorrhagia can be terrifying because you might not see blood in the toilet—the bleeding happens inside your intestines and you only notice because you're tired, weak, and your stool turns black like road tar, a sign called 'melena.'
