Q55 includes various congenital malformations of male genital organs, such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and other unspecified anomalies affecting the male reproductive system.
Q55 codes should be used when diagnosing congenital malformations of male genital organs that do not fall under more specific categories. It is important to document the specific type of malformation for accurate coding.
Documentation should include a clear description of the malformation, any associated symptoms, and the clinical findings that led to the diagnosis. Surgical reports and treatment plans may also be necessary for comprehensive coding.
