Common symptoms: blood at the urinary opening, difficulty or inability to urinate, and pain and bruising in the genital or perineal region.

When should you seek care? This is a situation that requires immediate attention, especially after a blow or accident to the pelvis.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the professional who evaluates and manages injuries of the urinary tract. If, after trauma, you notice blood when urinating or you cannot do so, seeking medical care without delay is the indicated course.
