S30-S39: Injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine and pelvis

Injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine and pelvis are diverse types of trauma that can occur from accidents, falls, or violence in a variety of settings. They can impact a wide range of organs and soft tissue including the stomach, intestines, kidneys, bladder or muscles and bones in the back and pelvis. These injuries can cause a range of symptoms, depending on the specific location and degree of trauma endured. A person could experience discomfort or severe pain, swelling, difficult or painful urination, bloody stools, and in more serious cases, shock. Progression of these conditions can vary, from potential healing over time with treatment to potentially life-threatening if vital organs are badly damaged. This group of conditions can affect multiple body systems, including digestive, urinary, and musculoskeletal.
