R30-R39: Symptoms and signs involving the urinary system
R30: Pain associated with micturition
Pain associated with micturition refers to a group of conditions that cause discomfort or distress during the process of urination. Such pain may manifest in several forms ranging from a stinging or burning sensation, which is often reflective of an underlying urinary tract infection (UTI), to a more intense pain indicative of more severe urological problems. Various parts of the urinary tract including the kidneys, bladder, or urethra can be affected. Factors leading to these conditions often stem from bacterial infections, urinary stones, or specific diseases like interstitial cystitis. Typically, symptoms display themselves during the process of passing urine. Disease progression is varied, dependent on the root cause of the condition. The urinary system is the primary system affected by these conditions, but depending on the cause, other body systems may also be involved - for example, in the case of sexually transmitted infections.
