N3010 - Chronic bladder wall inflammation without blood in urine
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition where the bladder wall becomes inflamed and irritated. This causes symptoms like frequent urination, urgent need to urinate, and pelvic pain or pressure. The 'without hematuria' part means there is no visible blood in the urine. This is a long-term condition that can significantly impact quality of life, but it can be managed with various treatments including dietary changes, medications, and sometimes procedures to help reduce bladder inflammation and pain.
Additional Information
This is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and improving quality of life. The condition affects women more commonly than men and can have flare-ups and periods of improvement.
