Acute and chronic prostatitis according to ICD

Inflammation of the prostate or ICD prostatitis prominently listed under several numbers. It all depends on the form of the pathology and the nature of its origin.

What is 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 pathologies that occur in humans. This 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. Information is collected worldwide and coded under certain designations. At any time, it can be completed and retrieved for further study.

Important! The ICD table contains marked classes and groups of codes. A section can contain several forms and manifestations of the same disease. The entrance is organized alphabetically for convenience.

Prostate diseases 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.

An ordinary person does not need to know ICD encoding. Only a doctor can decipher and encrypt the diagnosis.

Prostatitis according to ICD-10

Code for prostatitis according to ICD 10 - 41. If benign hyperplasia develops in the organ, the disease is designated by a different number. The code for prostate adenoma according to ICD 10 in adults is recorded with numbers from 40 to 51. These entries include various fibroids and fibroids.

It is one of the most common urological diseases affecting men of all ages. In general, the inflammatory process in glandular tissues is most often observed in a chronic form without acute signs visible at first.

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

• acute, occurring in 50% of patients aged less than 30 to 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 in 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 the structural changes, they are distinguished:

• fibrous form. The growth of glandular tissue occurs quite quickly and requires radical treatment. Clinically similar to ICD of prostate adenoma of which 40. 0;
• calculator. It occurs when stones form in the tissues of the glandular organ. It is considered to be a warning sign of cancer;
• stagnant form. 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 inappropriate lifestyle, addiction to tobacco and alcohol, and poor physical activity.

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

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

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

Particularities

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 of:

• heaviness and pain in the groin, pelvic area, lower back;
• a feeling of pinching of the rectum;
• increased need to urinate, including at night;
• pain in the urethra after ejaculation and emptying the bladder.

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

ICD codes for acute and chronic prostatitis

Chronic prostatitis ICD code 41. 1 with any undesirable factor may worsen. Acute inflammation of ICD 41. 0 results in edema of glandular tissues, which is fraught with acute urinary retention.

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

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

Pathology diagnosis

In some cases, a single digital rectal exam and familiarization with the patient's complaints is sufficient to make a diagnosis. However, inflammation is primarily diagnosed with the help of laboratory and instrumental examination methods.

The patient is referred:

• blood and urine tests to determine infections and inflammation;
• analysis of prostatic secretions;
• ultrasound examination of the prostate, kidneys, bladder;
• urethrocytoscopy;
• MRI of 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 entered in the International Disease Registry, requires complex treatment. The patient is advised to correct his diet, change his lifestyle, give up harmful addictions and start eating well.

Also named:

1. Medication. It helps relieve pain, relieves inflammation, activates the regeneration of damaged cells of the glandular organ. Suppositories are mainly used, as well as antibiotics.
2. Prostate massage. It is considered the most effective method of getting rid of stagnant processes in the gland. It is carried out independently or with the help of a specialist. The procedure is considered unpleasant, but it should 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 take baths in it.
4. Physiotherapy. Thermal physiotherapy gives excellent results. It helps to assimilate drugs quickly, relieve general symptoms, and increase blood flow to the problem organ.
5. Food is an important step in therapy. The convalescent's diet should contain vitamins, fiber, amino acids and mineral compounds. You should refrain from junk food (pickles, marinades, smoked meats, fries, 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 started.

Acute requires the use of drugs, the use of microclysters, rectal suppositories, analgesics, analgesics. The patient is shown bed rest and refusal of privacy. As soon as the acute period has passed, 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 correct diagnosis. What type of funds will be prescribed and in what dosage, says the specialist.

Prophylaxis

In order not to develop and worsen prostatitis, the ICD code 10 in adults is listed under number 41, you must adhere to the following rules:

• lead an active and healthy life. If it is not possible to visit the gym, it is necessary to do exercises in the morning, warm up during the working day and walk more. A sort of gymnasium will serve as a staircase, along which a person climbs daily to his apartment;
• avoid hypothermia of the body: do not sit on a cold surface, dress for the weather, etc. ;
• in case of constipation, include foods that relax 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 diseases of the glands. If there is no permanent sexual partner, you can temporarily replace it with masturbation, but you should not get involved in this activity;
• avoid promiscuous sex without barrier contraception. Sexually transmitted diseases may not be noticed at first, but they severely damage the tissue of the gland, 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.

Comments

1. "The international classification is of significant importance in the treatment of prostate inflammation of any etiology, because the ICD code 10 allows you to accurately determine the type of disease, formulate a diagnosis and implementeffective therapeutic measures. "
2. "My father had prostate adenoma. The ICD code was deciphered by the doctor when it was determined along with the diagnosis. The stage is quite neglected, the gland has almost tripled. An operation was scheduled and it was successful. The recovery was delayed, as age (over 60) and other chronic illnesses made themselves felt. Now he no longer has any complaints about the genitourinary system ".
3. "Chr. ICD 41. 1 prostatitis is on my card. I have suffered from this disease for a long time, but it is very rarely aggravated, since I do everything to avoid the onset of acute symptoms. The doctor said that chronic diseasesdo not go away, they may not appear for a very long time, if you properly monitor your health. Therefore, I play sports - I run in the morning every day, I exercise, I do not drink alcohol, Ido not smoke. "
