Clinical Information
As mentioned earlier, Dysuria is the medical term that healthcare professionals use when referring to painful urination. Painful urination is often described as burning or scalding.
Anyone can experience Dysuria, though women experience Dysuria more than men. This is because women are more susceptible to Urinary Tract Infections, and Dysuria is a symptom of Urinary Tract Infections. Pregnant women are also more vulnerable to having Dysuria. Diabetics and those with bladder-related diseases will likely experience pain when urinating.
This problem is a great cause for concern because the issues associated with Dysuria are severe and can become life-threatening in the long run if left unchecked and untreated.
Synonyms Include:
- Burning pain
- Dysuria-frequency syndrome
- Scalding pain on urination
- Painful micturation
Commonly asked questions
R30.9 - Painful micturition, unspecified, is another ICD-10 code that can be used for painful urination. There is no difference between the two other than the name and the unspecified label. Both are not valid as principal diagnoses. We excluded this and decided to settle for R.30.0 because it uses the medical term for painful urination.
Genital infections, bladder inflammations, prostate diseases, cancer, endometritis, diverticulitis, and diverticulosis are other conditions that can cause Dysuria, so use the specific ICD-10 codes for whichever of these you’ve identified as the cause.
It depends on what caused it. If UTI is the cause, then antibiotics will be administered and prescribed. If it’s caused by prostate problems, diabetes, or cancer, then those need to be addressed to treat Dysuria.
