Other congenital malformation of penis
ICD-10 Q55.69 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other congenital malformation of penis.
Congenital malformations of the penis encompass a variety of conditions that can affect the structure and function of the male genitalia. This includes conditions such as hypospadias, where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip, and can vary in severity. Cryptorchidism, or undescended testicles, is another common condition that may accompany penile malformations. Ambiguous genitalia, where the external genitalia do not clearly indicate male or female, can also be associated with chromosomal abnormalities such as Turner syndrome or androgen insensitivity syndrome. Uterine malformations, while primarily affecting females, can also have implications for male genital development in cases of intersex variations. Accurate diagnosis and coding of these conditions are crucial for appropriate management and treatment, as they can have significant implications for reproductive health and psychosocial development.
