It is possible for a bladder to rupture, although rare. If the bladder can't empty, it becomes painful enough that people usually seek medical help. A catheter is put into the bladder to drain the urine and relieve the pressure. The kidneys will also slow or stop urine production when the pressure backs up as a compensatory mechanism to avoid rupture of the bladder. A very full bladder can also be ruptured by trauma, such as a car accident, especially if pelvic bones are broken.

Is urinary bladder is least likely to be damaged in an automobile accident?

That is unlikely. Your urinary bladder is just as at risk as the rest of your abdominal organs during an automobile accident. However, due to its muscular structure, it may be able to recover quicker, though I am unsure of the regenerative rates of muscles vs organ tissues.

What internal organs can cause peritonitis?

Organs such as the appendix, intestines, stomach, gallbladder, and liver can cause peritonitis if they rupture or become infected, leading to inflammation of the peritoneum (the tissue lining the abdominal cavity). Infections or injuries to these organs can result in the leakage of bacteria or other irritants into the abdominal cavity, triggering peritonitis.

Yes, anal gland rupture can occur internally. When an anal gland becomes impacted and not expressed properly, it can lead to infection, inflammation, and potential rupture inside the anal cavity. This condition requires immediate veterinary attention to prevent further complications.


Do tonsils rupture?

Tonsils can become infected and form abscesses, which can potentially rupture if left untreated. However, it is not common for tonsils to rupture in a way that is similar to other types of organs or tissues in the body. If you are experiencing severe tonsil pain or swelling, it is important to seek medical attention to prevent complications.

Can a bladder burst?

The bladder is a mighty strong muscle and is unlikely to rupture just because you declined the opportunity to urinate. It's much more likely that well before the bladder burst, the urge to void would simply take over, and you would urinate whether you wanted to or not. However, the bladder can rupture under certain circumstances, such as:Major trauma, for example a pelvic fractureSurgical complicationA bladder tumor that weakens a portion of the muscular bladder wallDamage to the bladder from radiationSource: See link.

What happens if your bladder explodes?

Bladder explosion is a rare phenomenon. It is usually caused by trauma, such as a motor vehicle accident, and is usually referred to as "bladder rupture." Your bladder cannot explode just from holding your urine because you will micturate involuntarily before it gets to the point of possible explosion.
