A member asked:
Is it possible to tell when an internal laceration occurs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on organ: Lacerations can occur to solid organs or hollow organs. Spillage of contents and/or blood and/or loss of function are the signs of an internal laceration typically occuring following some sort of injury and commonly but not always associated with pain.
