Can a Car Accident Cause Bladder Injuries?

Parra Law Firm

Car accidents in Texas can lead to a wide range of injuries. Some of these can be related to your bladder. This is a condition that, while relatively rare, can prove to be very serious. If you think you have a bladder injury following an accident, seek medical attention. If left untreated, this type of injury can quickly grow much worse.

What Kind of Bladder Injuries Are Common?

Motor vehicle accidents can lead to a wide variety of injuries. These include blunt force and penetration injuries, chiefly related to seatbelts. The high force of the impact can cause the bladder to be tightly compressed or ruptured. This can lead to severe pain and the possibility of long-term damage.

The spine can also be pushed out of shape due to a car accident. This can lead to chronic dysfunction in the bladder. This can lead to such effects as frequent urgency, incontinence, and difficulty in completely emptying the bladder. You may also experience pain in your back and pelvic areas.

In many cases, your bladder will not rupture but will only be torn. While this is a less severe injury, it can still result in a great deal of pain and discomfort. The most common symptoms are blood in the urine and pain while urinating.

How Can Bladder Injuries Be Treated?

There are many types of dangers on the road that can lead to a bladder injury. If the bladder has been ruptured, you will require immediate surgery. Injuries related to spinal misalignment can usually be treated by a chiropractor. The relief that this gives you can take most of the pressure off of your bladder.

Observing safe driving practices is the best way to avoid a bladder or other injury. Drive at the speed limit and carefully follow all posted signs. Stay away from drivers that appear to be weaving or behaving erratically. Never drive in the blind spot of a large tractor-trailer. These simple precautions can save you a lot of pain.
