R30-R39: Symptoms and signs involving the urinary system
The symptoms and signs involving the urinary system generally refer to discomforts, oddities, or irregularities associated with the body's waste disposal process. This group of conditions can include a variety of symptoms, such as painful urination (also known as dysuria), abnormal color of urine, frequent urge to urinate, or difficulty in starting or maintaining a stable urine flow. At times, individuals may also notice blood in the urine or experience incontinence, where they lose control over their bladder. These indications might be a sign of infections, injuries, or diseases that are affecting structures of the urinary system, which consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most urinary problems are triggered by bacterial infections but may also be a result of kidney stones, cancers, or abnormalities in the structure of the urinary tract. Despite the broad range of potential causes, these conditions often produce similar discomforting symptoms impairing regular urinary functions.
