Etymology

The term 'prolapse' originates from the Latin word 'prolapsus', which means 'a slipping down' or 'a falling out'. It is derived from 'pro-' meaning forward or out, and 'labi' which stems from 'lapsus', meaning to slip. The medical use of the term has evolved over time to specifically describe the displacement of organs, particularly in the fields of gynecology and gastroenterology. Prolapse conditions have been documented since ancient times, with references in medical texts dating back to the Roman Empire. Understanding and treatment have advanced significantly, yet the terminology has retained its classical roots.
