Prostatocystitis

This code represents an inflammatory condition affecting both the prostate gland and the urinary bladder. It signifies a concurrent infection or inflammation of these two closely related organs in the male genitourinary system.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "prostatocystitis" or describes an inflammatory process involving both the prostate and the bladder. This typically occurs in male patients presenting with symptoms referable to both organs, such as dysuria, frequency, urgency, and prostatic pain.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates involvement of both the prostate and the bladder; do not assume both are affected if only one is mentioned.
• If the specific infectious agent is identified, consider coding it as an additional diagnosis.
• Differentiate from isolated prostatitis (N41.0-N41.2) or cystitis (N30.-) when only one organ is affected.
