Other specified disorders of male genital organs
ICD-10 N50.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified disorders of male genital organs.
N50.8 encompasses a variety of disorders affecting the male genital organs that do not fall under more specific categories. This includes conditions such as Peyronie's disease, which involves the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, leading to curved, painful erections. Other disorders may include issues related to the prostate, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that can affect urinary function and sexual health. Erectile dysfunction (ED) and ejaculatory disorders, such as premature ejaculation or delayed ejaculation, may also be classified under this code when they are not specified as primary diagnoses. These conditions can significantly impact a man's quality of life, affecting both physical health and psychological well-being. Accurate coding is essential for proper treatment and management, as well as for ensuring appropriate reimbursement for healthcare providers.
