D30: Benign neoplasm of urinary organs
Benign neoplasms of urinary organs refer to a group of non-cancerous tumors that develop in the organs responsible for urine production and discharge. These urinary organs include the kidneys, bladder, ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), and urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). The growths are called 'benign' because they don't spread to other parts of the body like cancer. They tend to grow slowly and stay confined to the place they started. The causes can vary but may include genetic factors, certain infections, or prolonged exposure to harmful chemicals. Symptoms depend on the location and size of the tumor. For example, if the benign tumor is in the bladder, symptoms may include blood in the urine or frequent urination. The condition's progression can be slow and usually doesn't cause severe health problems unless the tumor becomes large enough to disrupt organ function. However, any abnormal growths in the urinary system require medical attention for proper diagnosis and management.
