Enteroptosis - what does this mean
Enteroptosis is a condition caused by weakened abdominal muscles which can lead to the displacement of the intestines, stomach, and other organs of the abdomen. this can be caused by trauma, pregnancy, or other factors that weaken the abdominal muscles.
What happens during the disease - enteroptosis
Enteroptosis is a condition in which the intestines become stretched and weakened due to a lack of muscular support or poor posture. this can lead to a decrease in the amount of blood and oxygen supplied to the intestines, resulting in a decrease in the absorption of nutrients and a decrease in the production of digestive enzymes. in addition, the weakened muscles can cause the intestines to become more prone to herniation, resulting in abdominal pain and discomfort.
