R30.0: Dysuria

Dysuria, classified under the ICD-10 code R30.0, is a medical condition characterized by painful or difficult urination. People with dysuria may experience a burning, stinging, or sharp pain during or immediately after urination. The discomfort may be felt in the lower abdomen, the pelvic region, or the interior part of the urinary tract. Dysuria isn't a disease in itself but is generally a symptom of conditions like urinary tract infections, bladder inflammation, kidney stones, sexually transmitted infections, or certain medications. The presence of this symptom often indicates an issue in the urinary system, and its severity can vary from mild discomfort to severe pain. Despite being more common in women, men of any age can also be affected. It's important not to ignore dysuria as it may be indicating a more serious underlying health problem.
