Prostatocystitis

This code represents an inflammatory condition affecting both the prostate gland and the urinary bladder. It signifies a concurrent infection or inflammation of these two closely related genitourinary structures.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates inflammation or infection involving both the prostate and the bladder. This typically applies to male patients presenting with symptoms such affecting both organs, such as dysuria, frequency, urgency, and prostatic tenderness.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states involvement of both the prostate and the bladder.
• Do not use if only one organ is affected; instead, code for prostatitis (e.g., 601.0-601.9) or cystitis (e.g., 595.0-595.9) separately.
• Consider an additional code for the causative organism if identified and documented.
