R39: Other symptoms and signs involving the urinary system
R39.1: Other difficulties with micturition
"Other difficulties with micturition" refers to challenges a person may face during the process of urination. This could include a range of issues that are not usually categorised under common urinary problems. Symptoms might encompass unusual strain while urinating, feeling a pressing need to urinate but being unable to do so, or encountering disruptions while urinating. This condition generally does not represent a disease itself but might point to underlying health problems such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, prostate disorders or neurological conditions affecting bladder control. Symptoms and intensity differ from person to person, and these difficulties can affect people of any age or gender. Therefore, evaluation for persistent or recurring difficulties with micturition should be considered for appropriate management and relief.
