S35: Injury of blood vessels at abdomen, lower back and pelvis level
S35.9: Injury of unspecified blood vessel at abdomen, lower back and pelvis level
There are many blood vessels in the pelvis. The pelvis is the connecting link between the abdomen and the legs. The blood in the pelvis also flows to the lower back and the legs.
When a blood vessel is damaged, there is usually bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy, blood may collect in the tissue. There may then be some pain. When there is bleeding below the skin, a bruise sometimes forms.
