Ruptured bladder linked to shingles
A 77-year-old man with shingles needed surgery after he experienced an unusual complication of the infection: His bladder burst open. In rare instances, shingles can cause urinary retention, where the bladder doesn't empty enough or at all when you urinate. However, to the case report authors' knowledge, theirs is the first report of someone's bladder rupturing due to shingles-related urinary retention.

If you get a hole in your tympanic membrane, it’s called a ruptured eardrum. (Your eardrum separates your outer ear from your middle ear.) Infection, trauma, loud sounds or foreign objects in your ears can cause a ruptured eardrum. In most cases, a ruptured eardrum will heal on its own in a few weeks. But sometimes, it requires surgical repair, such as tympanoplasty.Lactose intoleranceGluten allergy / Celiac diseasesMilk allergyEpithelial bladder tumorEpithelial bladder tumoursCarcinoma urinary bladder .
