Cyst of prostate
ICD-10 N42.83 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cyst of prostate.
A cyst of the prostate is a fluid-filled sac that can develop within the prostate gland. These cysts can be asymptomatic or may cause various urinary symptoms depending on their size and location. Prostate cysts can arise from several conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, or may be congenital in nature. Patients with prostate cysts may experience symptoms such as difficulty urinating, increased urinary frequency, or pelvic discomfort. The presence of a cyst can also complicate the diagnosis of other prostate disorders, including prostate cancer, necessitating careful evaluation. Diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasound or MRI, is often employed to assess the cyst's characteristics. Additionally, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may be monitored, as elevated levels can indicate underlying pathology. Treatment options vary based on symptoms and may include observation, medication, or surgical intervention if the cyst is symptomatic or associated with other prostate disorders.
