Symptoms And Complications Of Hemoperitoneum

Abdominal Tenderness

Abdominal tenderness is a symptom of hemoperitoneum because there is an open wound inside the body. The abdomen may be painful to the touch and may feel something like bread dough. Usually, abdominal distension and nausea accompany this tenderness. As with other symptoms, the degree of tenderness can range from mild to severe depending on the severity of the internal bleeding. Some patients may not feel any pain until days after the trauma has occurred increasing the risk of complications from hemorrhagic shock and even death. If this pain or tenderness increases in severity and additional symptoms such as confusion or dizziness occur, a visit to the emergency room is essential.
