Abdominal Trauma

Abdominal trauma refers to injuries sustained in the abdominal area, which includes the organs inside the abdomen, such as the stomach, intestines, liver, and kidneys. These injuries can result from accidents, falls, or physical assaults and may be blunt (like a car accident) or penetrating (like a stab wound). Symptoms can vary from pain and swelling to internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial, as severe cases may require surgery to repair damaged organs and prevent complications. Early recognition and treatment improve outcomes significantly.
