R10: Abdominal and pelvic pain
R10.3: Pain localized to other parts of lower abdomen
Pain localized to other parts of the lower abdomen, as indexed by the ICD-10 code R10.3, refers to discomfort or distress experienced in the lower regions of the abdomen, beyond the usual locations such as the right lower quadrant, left lower quadrant, or periumbilical area. This type of lower abdominal pain could be related to various medical conditions including gastrointestinal disorders, genitourinary conditions, or even a musculoskeletal issue. The patient may describe the pain as sharp, dull, cramp-like, or aching, and it could be chronic or acute depending on the underlying cause. Accompanying symptoms may include bloating, nausea, changes in bowel movements, or increased urination, depending on the source of the pain. Careful medical evaluation is needed to determine the exact cause and to guide the course of treatment.
