Visceroptosis

Visceroptosis: understanding and consequences

Visceroptosis is the medical term for the prolapse or displacement of internal organs from their normal position in the abdominal cavity. It consists of two parts: "viscero-", which means "pertaining to the internal organs", and "ptosis", which is translated from Greek as "descent". Visceroptosis can affect various organs, including the stomach, intestines, spleen, kidneys and others.

Organ prolapse can be caused by a variety of factors, such as ligamentous weakness, abnormal anatomy, increased intra-abdominal pressure, excess weight, or tissue damage due to injury or surgery. Visceroptosis often develops gradually and may be associated with a lack of muscle tone or a decrease in the elasticity of the ligamentous apparatus that supports the organs in the correct position.

One of the most common symptoms of visceroptosis is pain and discomfort in the abdomen. Patients may complain of a feeling of heaviness or unpleasant pressure, especially after eating or physical activity. Digestive problems such as heartburn, constipation or diarrhea may occur. You may also experience symptoms related to the specific prolapsed organ, such as lower back pain or trouble urinating when your kidneys prolapse.

Diagnosis of visceroptosis includes a physical examination, the patient's medical history, and additional tests such as ultrasound, computed tomography, or radiography. The purpose of diagnosis is to determine the degree of organ prolapse and identify possible complications.

Treatment for visceroptosis depends on the severity of symptoms and the cause of organ prolapse. In some cases, a conservative approach is recommended, which includes lifestyle changes such as weight control, proper nutrition, physical activity, and the use of bandages or belts to support prolapsed organs. In more serious cases, surgery may be required to restore the normal position of the organs.

It is important to note that self-diagnosis and self-medication in cases of suspected visceroptosis are not recommended. If you suspect you may have visceroptosis or are experiencing symptoms associated with organ prolapse, it is important to see a qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

In conclusion, visceroptosis is a condition in which internal organs drop or become displaced from their normal position in the abdominal cavity. It can cause a variety of symptoms and have a negative impact on the patient's quality of life. Diagnosis and treatment of visceroptosis require medical intervention, and the decision on the appropriate treatment strategy must be made by the physician based on the individual patient's characteristics.

**Visceroptosis** - prolapse of the internal organs of the animal. prolapsed organ or organs (heart, kidney, etc.) displaced in the opposite direction; prolapse of organs through abdominal fissures. Prolapse of internal organs can occur with untimely or delayed closure of the peritoneal process of the mesentery, which persists after birth or congenital duplication. Fruits are especially often susceptible to visceroptosis due to deviations at the stages of embryonic development. With normal development, the fetus dies within a few hours after its birth. The most common cause of visceroprotosis is genetic abnormalities in the development of the fetus, leading to the fact that the animal is born blind. In such cases, his survival depends on whether the internal organs can be raised.
