Inflammation of the prostate gland or prostatitis ICD highlights in its list under several numbers. It all depends on the form of the pathology and the nature of its origin.
What is ICD
The medical community uses a regulatory document that is periodically reviewed by the World Health Organization. It includes a list of all diseases and pathologies that occur in humans. It is called the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Its main purpose is to provide assistance in studying the patient's condition and to create optimal conditions for this by systematically recording the available data. The information is collected from all over the world and is coded under certain designations. It can be supplemented and extracted at any time for further study.
Important! The ICD table contains classes and groups marked with codes. A position can contain several forms and manifestations of the same disease. For convenience, the recording is organized alphabetically.
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;
- prostate abscess - 41, 2;
- prostatocystitis - 41, 3;
- other inflammatory conditions of the prostate - 41, 8;
- unspecified inflammatory disease of the gland - 41. 9.
The average person does not need to know ICD coding. Only a doctor can decipher and encrypt the diagnosis.
Prostatitis according to ICD-10
Code of prostatitis according to ICD 10 - 41. If benign hyperplasia develops in the organ, then the disease is denoted by a different number. The adenoma of the prostate code according to ICD 10 in adults is registered with numbers from 40 to 51. These positions include various fibroids and fibroids.
It belongs to the most common urological diseases affecting men of all ages. In general, the inflammatory process in the glandular tissues is most often observed in a chronic form without visible acute signs at the beginning.
Experts classify the disease according to the nature of the course:
- acute, occurring in 50% of patients aged not more than 30-35 years. Mostly 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 occurrence occurs:
- a bacterium that occurs in the body;
- 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, they are distinguished:
- fibrous shape. Glandular tissue growth occurs quite rapidly and needs radical treatment. Clinically similar to prostate adenoma ICD, of which 40, 0;
- calculation. This happens when stones form in the tissues of the glandular organ. It is considered a harbinger of cancer;
- stagnant form. Occurs with physical inactivity, prolonged abstinence from sex.
Causes and symptoms
The pathology of the gland, chronic and acute, is directly related to leading an improper lifestyle, addiction to smoking and alcohol and poor physical activity.
The main reasons why the disease develops even in young men are:
- infections transmitted during sexual intercourse: gonococci, Escherichia coli, chlamydia, etc. Frequent change of sexual partners increases the risk of developing the disease;
- pelvic congestion associated with impaired circulation;
- sedentary, sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity;
- prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse, abuse of drugs that prolong sexual intercourse, deliberate delay in ejaculation during intimacy in order to prolong it;
- reduced immunity;
- psycho-emotional stress, severe stress;
- physical fatigue;
- hypothermia;
- endocrine system failure;
- unbalanced diet;
- dependencies.
The signs of acute and chronic inflammation in the prostate are similar. The doctor will help to recognize the form of the disease after examination and diagnosis.
Features
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 a rise in body temperature, signs of general intoxication.
The patient complains of:
- heaviness and pain in the groin, pelvis, lower back;
- feeling of tightness in the rectum;
- increased urge to urinate, including at night;
- pain in the urethra after ejaculation and emptying of the bladder.
In the chronic form of the disease in the lower abdomen, some men experience pain of varying intensity, erection problems and potency. In 95% of cases, the disease is virtually asymptomatic.
ICD codes for acute and chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis ICD code 41. 1 with any adverse factors may worsen. Acute inflammation of ICD 41. 0 leads to swelling of the glandular tissues, which is fraught with acute urinary retention.
In the absence of appropriate treatment, such diseases lead to serious complications:
- bladder obstruction;
- the development of male infertility;
- narrowing and scarring of the urethral canal;
- recurrent cystitis;
- pyelonephritis and other diseases affecting the kidneys;
- heating of glandular tissues requiring immediate medical intervention;
- sepsis, which most often develops in people with weakened immunity.
Diagnosis of pathology
In some cases, a rectal examination and acquaintance with the patient's complaints are sufficient to make a diagnosis. However, inflammation is diagnosed mainly with the help of laboratory and instrumental methods of examination.
The patient is referred to:
- blood and urine tests to determine infections and inflammation;
- analysis of prostate secretions;
- ultrasound examination of the prostate, kidneys, bladder;
- urethrocytoscopy;
- MRI of the pelvic organs;
- Blood tests for PSA;
- biopsy;
- X-rays.
One of the most effective diagnostic methods is a rectal digital examination of the prostate. Although in acute form, the organ is very sensitive and the procedure can bring severe pain to the patient.
Treatment tactics
Chronic prostatitis, whose ICD code is included in the International Register of Diseases, requires comprehensive treatment. The patient is advised to adjust the diet, change the lifestyle, give up harmful addictions and start eating properly.
Also appointed:
- Medicines. It helps relieve pain, relieves inflammation, activates the regeneration of damaged cells of the glandular organ. Mainly suppositories are used, as well as antibiotics.
- Prostate massage. It is considered the most effective method for eliminating 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 performed.
- Balneotherapy. With the help of mineral water in the sanatoriums, men manage to cope with the chronic form. It is useful both to drink healing water and to bathe in it.
- Physiotherapy. Thermal physiotherapy gives excellent results. Helps to quickly absorb drugs, relieve general symptoms and increase blood circulation in the problem organ.
- Diet is an important step in therapy. The convalescent's diet should contain vitamins, fiber, amino acids and mineral compounds. You will need to refrain from junk food (pickles, marinades, smoked meats, fried, fatty foods). The list of desired products includes sour milk drinks, lean meat and fish, nuts, dried fruits, pumpkin seeds.
Surgery is rarely used in chronic inflammation, when other treatments do not give a positive effect or purulent processes have begun.
Acute requires the use of drugs, the use of microenemas, rectal suppositories, analgesics, painkillers. The patient is shown bed rest and refusal of intimacy. Immediately after the acute period, prostate massage and physiotherapy are prescribed. For this type of disease it is very important to choose the necessary medication. This is possible only after a correct diagnosis. What drugs will be prescribed and in what dose, says the specialist.
Prevention
In order not to develop and worsen prostatitis, the ICD 10 code for adults is listed under number 41, you must 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 gym will serve as a staircase, which a person climbs daily to his apartment;

- with constipation, include foods that weaken the intestines in the diet, take mild laxatives. If the disorder becomes permanent, it is advisable to consult a specialist;
- regulates sex life. Prolonged sexual abstinence is the first step towards the development of glandular diseases. If you do not have a permanent sexual partner, you can temporarily replace it with masturbation, but you should not engage in this activity;
- avoid indiscriminate sexual intercourse without barrier contraception. Sexually transmitted diseases may not be noticed at first, but they seriously damage the glandular 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 cause of the unpleasant symptoms;
- it is necessary to visit a urologist at least once a year to rule out the possibility of the disease.
Reviews
- "International classification is important in the treatment of prostate inflammation of any etiology, as the ICD 10 code allows you to pinpoint the type of disease, formulate a diagnosis, and perform effective therapeutic measures. "
- "My father had a prostate adenoma. The ICD code is deciphered by the doctor when it is established with the diagnosis. The stage is quite neglected, the gland has almost tripled. An operation was scheduled and it was successful. Recovery has slowed as age (over 60) and other chronic illnesses have been felt. Now he has no complaints about the genitourinary system. "
- „Chr. Prostatitis ICD 41. 1 is on my card. I suffer from this disease for a long time, but very rarely it gets worse, as I do everything to avoid the appearance of acute symptoms. The doctor said that chronic diseases do not disappear, they may not appear for a very long time if you properly monitor your health. That's why I do sports - I run every morning, exercise, don't drink alcohol, don't smoke. "
