What are the complications of spinal cord injury?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit the neurology department. What are the complications of spinal cord injury?

Doctor's answer:

General spinal cord injuries can lead to neurological dysfunction below the level of injury, potentially causing collapse in vulnerable areas and bony prominences. This may result in severe urinary complications, deep vein thrombosis, orthostatic hypotension, or autonomic dysreflexia, which is the most severe complication. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a qualified hospital.
