N32.4: Rupture of bladder, nontraumatic
You have a laceration to your bladder wall.
The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.
The bladder is like a balloon. There is a hollow space on the inside. This hollow space is surrounded by the bladder wall.
If the pressure in the bladder rises, the bladder wall may rupture. Pressure in the bladder may rise, for example, if there are large amounts of urine in the bladder. If the urine cannot flow out of the bladder properly, this may also put extra pressure on the bladder. However the bladder wall may also rupture as a result of a specific type of inflammation. This type of inflammation can cause severe damage to the tissue, which may even die off. Your bladder wall is ruptured.
A ruptured bladder wall may cause pain in the lower abdomen. The pain may be particularly severe when urinating. You may possibly have blood in your urine. It is also possible that you are no longer able to urinate.
