S36.7: Injury of multiple intra-abdominal organs

There are many vital organs in your abdomen. When the abdomen is injured, these organs may get damaged too. The abdomen can be injured as a result of an accident or a blow, for example.

When tissue from multiple organs in the abdomen has been damaged, there may be a range of symptoms. The symptoms depend on the extent of the damage. For example, you may have abdominal pains.

A damaged organ may also bleed. Sometimes blood collects in the organ or tissue. If the bleeding is heavy, you can have circulation problems. This can sometimes be life-threatening.
