Metroptosis

The slipping or falling out of place of an organ (as the uterus).


A condition in which the uterus has moved downwards out of its usual position.


Prolapse of the uterus; downward displacement of the uterus, with the neck (cervix) sometimes protruding from the vagina. It most often occurs in women who have had children. Treatment is by surgery.


The downward displacement of the womb. The neck (cervix) of the womb sometimes protrudes from the vaginal opening. The womb usually drops under the influence of gravity because the supporting tissues are weak or damaged, especially in women who have given birth. A surgical operation may be required in order to correct the condition.
