Contusion of prostate, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late-effect complication resulting from a past contusion (bruise) to the prostate gland. It signifies that the patient is currently experiencing symptoms or conditions directly attributable to the original prostatic injury, even if the initial injury has healed. These sequelae can manifest as chronic pain, urinary dysfunction, or other persistent issues.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or conditions that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained prostate contusion. This applies when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses the residual effects. Examples include chronic pelvic pain or persistent voiding difficulties stemming from the old injury.

• Always link this sequela code to an external cause code (V00-Y99) describing the original incident, if known and still relevant.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the connection between the current condition and the past prostate contusion.
• This code requires a 7th character "S" to denote sequela, indicating the treatment of a late effect.
