Example 1: A 25-year-old female presents with symptoms of dysuria, frequency, and urgency. Urinalysis reveals a bacterial infection.The diagnosis is acute cystitis, coded as N30.0., A 50-year-old female with a history of interstitial cystitis reports worsening pelvic pain and urinary frequency.She has no hematuria. The diagnosis is interstitial cystitis without hematuria, coded as N30.10., A 70-year-old male with a history of radiation therapy for prostate cancer develops symptoms of cystitis. The diagnosis is irradiation cystitis, coded as N30.4.
Complete history and physical examination, urinalysis, urine culture (if indicated), and any relevant imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound).
