S37: Injury of urinary and pelvic organs
S37.2: Injury of bladder
Injury of the bladder refers to any damage or harm done to the bladder, an important organ responsible for storing urine in the body. Types of bladder injuries can include trauma sustained externally (like getting hit in your lower abdomen) or internally (such as a surgical mishap or a urinary catheter misplacement). Bladder injuries can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, difficulty or inability to urinate, and blood in the urine (hematuria). The severity and nature of the bladder injury can influence the type of symptom experienced. In some cases, an injury to the bladder can also cause leakage of urine into the abdominal cavity, which may lead to further complications. It's important to properly diagnose and treat a bladder injury to prevent long-term urinary problems.
