Prostatosis syndrome

This code represents a chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men, characterized by prostate-related symptoms such as perineal discomfort, dysuria, and ejaculatory pain, without evidence of infection or other identifiable prostatic pathology. It is often considered a non-inflammatory form of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "prostatosis syndrome" or describes symptoms consistent with CP/CPPS where infectious or inflammatory causes have been ruled out. Supporting documentation should include a history of chronic pelvic pain, negative urine cultures, and absence of significant inflammatory markers in prostatic fluid.

• Do not confuse with bacterial prostatitis (N41.0, N41.1) or other specific prostatic disorders.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the absence of infection to support this non-inflammatory diagnosis.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated symptoms (e.g., dysuria R30.0) if they are distinct and require separate reporting.
