Gastromenia

/ˌɡæstroʊˈmiːniə/ noun

Definition

An abnormal condition involving bleeding or blood loss from the stomach, sometimes related to menstrual-like cycles of bleeding.

Etymology

From gastro- (Greek gaster, 'stomach') + -menia (Greek men, 'month' or menses, 'menstruation'). A rare clinical term combining gastric and menstrual terminology.

Kelly Says

This obscure medical term describes a bizarre condition where the stomach bleeds in a cyclic, almost menstrual pattern—it's so rare that most modern doctors might never encounter a documented case!
