T28.3: Burn of internal genitourinary organs
You have burned your urinary organs or sex organs.
The urinary organs include organs that form urine or excrete it from the body. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.
In your case, tissue was damaged by high temperatures. For example, you can get burned by fire, electricity or certain rays.
The symptoms from a burn depend on how badly the tissue was damaged. The affected tissue may be red and swollen. Sometimes blisters or open wounds form. The tissue may die off, as well. Severe illness is possible. If the damaged tissue scars, there may be permanent problems.
Sometimes it is no longer possible to swallow properly. You have burned your urinary or sex organs. It may no longer be possible to urinate or have sex properly.
