Pain associated with micturition (R30)

The ICD-10 code R30 covers conditions involving pain associated with micturition, or painful urination. These codes are used to specify different types of symptoms related to discomfort during urination.

Specifically, R30.0 refers to dysuria, which includes symptoms like burning pain, scalding pain on urination, or dysuria-frequency syndrome. These common terms help clarify coding when patients describe painful or uncomfortable urination. R30.1 is used for vesical tenesmus, indicating a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying or persistent urge to urinate despite an empty bladder, sometimes called tenesmus of the urinary bladder. When the exact cause or type of pain is not clearly identified, R30.9 is applied for unspecified painful micturition. These codes assist healthcare professionals and medical coders in accurately documenting genitourinary symptoms related to urination pain, facilitating appropriate treatment and billing.

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
