Unspecified urinary incontinence (R32)

Browse all the diagnosis codes used for unspecified urinary incontinence (r32). For easy navigation, the diagnosis codes are sorted in alphabetical order and grouped by sections. Each section is clearly marked with its description, and the corresponding three-digit code range. This format makes it simple to browse diagnosis codes in this chapter or section and find what you're looking for. We've also added green checkmark icons to label billable codes, and red warning icons for non-billable ones. This makes it easy to identify which codes can be billed.

Clinical Information

Diurnal Enuresis - Involuntary discharge of URINE during the daytime while one is awake.

Encopresis - Incontinence of feces not due to organic defect or illness.

Nocturnal Enuresis - Involuntary discharge of URINE during sleep at night after expected age of completed development of urinary control.

Urinary Incontinence - Involuntary loss of URINE, such as leaking of urine. It is a symptom of various underlying pathological processes. Major types of incontinence include URINARY URGE INCONTINENCE and URINARY STRESS INCONTINENCE.

Urinary Incontinence, Stress - Involuntary discharge of URINE as a result of physical activities that increase abdominal pressure on the URINARY BLADDER without detrusor contraction or overdistended bladder. The subtypes are classified by the degree of leakage, descent and opening of the bladder neck and URETHRA without bladder contraction, and sphincter deficiency.

Urinary Incontinence, Urge - Involuntary discharge of URINE that is associated with an abrupt and strong desire to void. It is usually related to the involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle of the bladder (detrusor hyperreflexia or detrusor instability).

Urine - Liquid by-product of excretion produced in the kidneys, temporarily stored in the bladder until discharge through the URETHRA.
