Physical examination reveals suprapubic tenderness without CVA tenderness

On physical exam, the patient exhibits tenderness in the suprapubic region (area above the pubic bone) but no tenderness in the costovertebral angle (CVA).

This finding can suggest lower urinary tract issues like cystitis or bladder distension, while the absence of CVA tenderness helps rule out kidney-related pathologies such as pyelonephritis.

Used to document specific findings during the physical examination of the abdomen, especially when evaluating for urinary tract issues.
