Seminal vesiculitis

This code represents inflammation of the seminal vesicles, which are glands located behind the bladder that produce seminal fluid. It is typically caused by bacterial infection and can present with symptoms such as painful ejaculation, hematospermia, and pelvic discomfort.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of seminal vesiculitis, often supported by clinical findings, urinalysis, or semen analysis. It is appropriate for both acute and chronic forms of the condition.

• Differentiate from other genitourinary infections like epididymitis (604.90) or prostatitis (601.9).
• Code any underlying infectious organism if identified and documented, using an additional code.
• Ensure documentation specifies "seminal vesiculitis" rather than general pelvic pain or dysuria.
