Swedish term or phrase: sammanfallen (in this context)
I realise that Diarmuid Kennan asked the question as well but thought I would check in case it could be something else in this context, since prolapsed/collapsed seems strange for this context.

Buk: palperas mjuk, sammanfallen, inga palpabla resistenser, ingen ömhet.

Can anyone think of any other way of expressing sammenfallen, or is it really prolapsed or collapsed?

Explanation:
I'm not a doctor but we do say 'my stomach has shrunk'
You are right not to use 'collapsed' here as that is for a lung or vertabrae
