Unspecified frostbite of thorax, abdomen, lower back and pelvis - what does this mean
Unspecified frostbite of thorax, abdomen, lower back and pelvis is caused when the skin and underlying tissues are exposed to freezing temperatures, resulting in tissue damage and cell death. it is most commonly seen in people who are exposed to cold temperatures for long periods of time, such as those who are homeless or have outdoor occupations. it can also occur in those who are engaging in outdoor activities such as skiing, snowmobiling, or mountaineering.
What happens during the disease - unspecified frostbite of thorax, abdomen, lower back and pelvis
Unspecified frostbite of the thorax, abdomen, lower back, and pelvis is caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. the cold temperatures cause the blood vessels in the affected areas to constrict, which reduces the amount of blood flow to the tissues. this can lead to tissue damage, as the tissues are deprived of oxygen and nutrients, and can eventually lead to cell death. in more severe cases, this can result in tissue necrosis and the formation of blisters.
