The transverse colon is above or below the navel and reaches the pelvis in some people. The transverse colon is highly mobile, with a bowed central part that descends to the umbilicus or below. The degree of its prolapse varies from person to person and in some cases descends to the pelvis. The transverse colon starts at the right flexure of the colon, runs transversely to the left, and ends at the left flexure of the colon. It is a favored site for intestinal polyps, and is associated with heredity, diet, and disease. Prolapse of the transverse colon can be seen in conditions such as redundant colon, reduced intra-abdominal pressure, loose abdominal muscles, gastric prolapse, constipation, and short and fat body type. The diagnosis of transverse colon ptosis is based on the combination of colonoscopy, abdominal radiographs, and gastrointestinal imaging. If the projection of the transverse colon on the surface of the body needs to be clarified, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and perform relevant examinations under the guidance of a specialized physician.
