Acute and chronic prostatitis according to ICD

Inflammation of the prostate gland or ICD prostatitis highlights in its list under several numbers. It all depends on the form of the pathology and the nature of its origin.

What is the ICD

There is a regulatory document used in the medical community that is periodically reviewed by the World Health Organization. It includes a list of all diseases and diseases that occur in humans. It is called the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Its main objective is to provide assistance in the study of the patient's condition and to create the optimal conditions for this by systematically recording the available data. The information is collected from all over the world and encoded with certain denominations. At any time, it can be integrated and retrieved for further study.

Important! The ICD table contains classes and groups marked with codes. A header can contain different forms and manifestations of the same disorder. The entry is organized alphabetically for convenience.

Diseases of the prostate gland according to ICD-10

The list of diseases includes:

• acute prostatitis ICD 10 41. 0;
• chronic prostatitis ICD 10 41. 1;
• abscess of the prostate - 41, 2;
• prostatocystitis - 41, 3;
• other inflammatory conditions of the prostate - 41, 8;
• unspecified inflammatory disease of the gland - 41. 9.

A normal person does not need to know ICD coding. Only a doctor can decipher and encrypt the diagnosis.

Prostatitis according to ICD-10

Prostatitis code according to ICD 10 - 41. If benign hyperplasia develops in the organ, the disease is designated by a different number. The adenoma of the prostate gland code according to the ICD 10 in adults is registered with numbers from 40 to 51. These headings include various fibroids and fibroids.

It belongs to the most common urological diseases that affect men of any age. In general, the inflammatory process in the glandular tissues is most often observed in a chronic form without visible acute signs at first.

Experts classify the disorder according to the nature of the course:

• acute, occurring in 50% of patients no older than 30-35 years. Mainly associated with bacterial infections;
• chronic. It does not manifest itself for a long time and can develop against the background of an infectious process.

Due to the event, it happens:

• bacterial that occurs inside the organ;
• non-bacterial, in which pathological changes occur in a predominantly chronic form;
• viral, in which the entire genital area suffers.

By the nature of structural changes, the following are distinguished:

• fibrous form. The growth of glandular tissues occurs rather quickly and needs radical treatment. Clinically similar to the ICD of prostate adenoma of which 40, 0;
• calculator. It occurs when stones form in the tissues of the glandular organ. It is considered a harbinger of cancer;
• stagnant form. It occurs with physical inactivity, prolonged abstinence from sex.

Causes and symptoms

The pathology of the gland, both chronic and acute, is directly related to the conduct of an incorrect lifestyle, addiction to smoking and alcohol and poor physical activity.

The main reasons why the disease also develops in young men are:

• infections transmitted during sexual contact: gonococci, Escherichia coli, chlamydia, etc. Frequent change of sexual partners increases the risk of developing the disease;
• congestion in the pelvic organs associated with impaired blood circulation;
• sedentary lifestyle, sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity;
• prolonged abstinence from sex, abuse of drugs that prolong sexual intercourse, deliberate delay in ejaculation during intimacy to prolong it;
• reduced immunity;
• psycho-emotional stress, severe stress;
• physical overwork;
• hypothermia;
• failure in the endocrine system;
• unbalanced diet;
• addictions.

The signs of the development of acute and chronic inflammation in the prostate are similar. The doctor will help recognize the form of the disease after examination and diagnosis.

Peculiarities

The acute form is accompanied by severe clinical symptoms, and all tissues of the glandular organ are involved in the pathological process. Therefore, the disease is painful, difficult: with an increase in body temperature, signs of general intoxication.

The patient complains:

• heaviness and pain in the groin, pelvic region, lower back;
• a feeling of squeezing of the rectum;
• increased urge to urinate, even at night;
• pain in the urethra after ejaculation and emptying of the bladder.

In the chronic form of the disorder in the lower abdomen, some men experience pain of varying intensity, problems with erection and potency. In 95% of cases the disease is practically asymptomatic.

ICD codes for acute and chronic prostatitis

Chronic prostatitis ICD code 41. 1 with any adverse factor can worsen. Acute inflammation of the ICD 41. 0 leads to edema of the glandular tissues, which is fraught with acute urinary retention.

Such diseases, in the absence of adequate treatment, lead to serious complications:

• bladder obstruction;
• the development of male infertility;
• narrowing and scarring of the urethral canal;
• recurrent cystitis;
• pyelonephritis and other disorders affecting the kidneys;
• suppuration of the tissues of the gland, which requires immediate medical intervention;
• sepsis, which most often develops in people with weakened immunity.

Pathology Diagnosis

In some cases, a single rectal examination and familiarization with the patient's ailments are sufficient to make a diagnosis. However, inflammation is mainly diagnosed using laboratory and instrumental examination methods.

The patient turns to:

• blood and urine tests to determine infections and inflammation;
• analysis of prostatic secretions;
• ultrasound examination of the prostate, kidneys, bladder;
• urethrocytoscopy;
• MRI of the pelvic organs;
• PSA blood tests;
• biopsy;
• X-ray.

One of the most effective diagnostic methods is a digital rectal examination of the prostate. Although in the acute form, the organ is very sensitive and the procedure can cause severe pain to the patient.

Treatment tactics

Chronic prostatitis, the ICD code of which is listed in the International Register of Diseases, requires complex treatment. The patient is advised to correct the diet, change the lifestyle, give up harmful addictions and start eating right.

Also named:

1. Drug. Helps relieve pain, relieves inflammation, activates the regeneration of damaged cells of the glandular organ. Suppositories are mainly used, as are antibiotics.
2. Prostatic massage. It is considered the most effective method of getting rid of stagnant processes in the gland. It is performed independently or with the help of a specialist. The procedure is considered unpleasant, but it must be carried out without fail.
3. Balneotherapy. With the help of mineral waters in sanatoriums, men manage to cope with the chronic form. It is useful both to drink healing water and to bathe in it.
4. Physiotherapy. Thermal physiotherapy gives excellent results. Helps to assimilate medications quickly, relieve general symptoms and increase blood circulation to the problem organ.
5. Diet is an important step in therapy. The convalescent's diet should contain vitamins, fiber, amino acids and mineral compounds. You will have to refrain from junk food (pickles, marinades, smoked meats, fried, fatty foods). The list of desirable products includes sour milk drinks, lean meats and fish, nuts, dried fruits, pumpkin seeds.

Surgery is rarely used for chronic inflammation, when other methods of treatment do not give a positive effect or purulent processes have begun.

Acute requires the use of medicines, the use of microenemas, rectal suppositories, analgesics, pain relievers. The patient is shown bed rest and rejection of intimacy. As soon as the acute period passes, prostate massage and physiotherapy are prescribed. It is very important for this type of disease to select the necessary drugs. This is only possible after a correct diagnosis. What kind of funds will be prescribed and in what dosage, says the specialist.

Prophylaxis

In order not to develop and worsen prostatitis, the ICD 10 code in adults is listed at number 41, it is necessary to adhere to the following rules:

• lead an active and healthy lifestyle. If it is not possible to visit the gym, it is necessary to do morning exercises, warm up during the working day and walk more. A kind of gymnasium will serve as a staircase, along which a person climbs daily into her apartment;
• avoid body hypothermia: do not sit on a cold surface, dress for the weather, etc. ;
• with constipation, include food that relaxes the intestines in the diet, take mild laxatives. If the disorder becomes persistent, it is advisable to consult a specialist;
• regulate sex life. Prolonged sexual abstinence is the first step towards the development of gland diseases. If there is no permanent sexual partner, you can temporarily replace it with masturbation, but you should not be involved in this activity;
• avoid promiscuous sexual intercourse without barrier contraception. Sexually transmitted diseases may not be noticed at first, but they severely damage the gland tissue, causing an infectious form of prostatitis;
• at the slightest suspicion of a sexually transmitted infection, you should consult a venereologist or urologist. It is enough to undergo an examination to find out what is the reason for the appearance of unpleasant symptoms;
• it is necessary to visit a urologist at least once a year to exclude the likelihood of the onset of the disease.

Reviews

1. "The international classification is of no small importance in the treatment of inflammation of the prostate gland of any etiology, since the ICD 10 code allows you to accurately determine the type of disease, make a diagnosis and implement effective therapeutic measures. "
2. "My father had a prostate adenoma. The ICD code was deciphered by the doctor when it was determined with the diagnosis. The stage is quite neglected, the gland has nearly tripled. An operation was scheduled and it was successful. healing has been delayed, as age (over 60) and other chronic diseases have made themselves felt. Now she has no complaints about the genitourinary system. "
3. "Cr. Prostatitis ICD 41. 1 is on my card. I have been suffering from this disease for a long time, but it very rarely gets worse, as I do everything to avoid the appearance of acute symptoms. The doctor said that chronic diseases do not go away, they may not appear for a long time, if you monitor your health correctly. Therefore, I do sports: I run in the morning every day, I exercise, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke. "
