Symptoms of BLADDER OR URETHRA INJURY
The symptoms of bladder or urethral injury depend, in part, on the mechanism of injury. In blunt or penetrating trauma to the lower abdomen and pelvis, symptoms may include severe abdominal pain and shock (sweating, faintness, nausea, panting, rapid pulse, pale, cold, moist skin). Less severe injuries, or injuries caused by manipulation through the urethra and bladder may produce painful urination or inability to urinate. In either type of injury there may be a bloody discharge or gross blood from the urethra.
