Other specified disorders of penis
ICD-10 N48.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified disorders of penis.
N48.89 encompasses a variety of penile disorders that do not fall under more specific categories. This includes conditions such as hydrocele, which is the accumulation of fluid around the testicle, leading to swelling and discomfort. Testicular disorders may include conditions like testicular torsion or varicocele, which can affect fertility. Orchitis, an inflammation of the testis, can result from infections or autoimmune conditions, often presenting with pain and swelling. Male infertility can stem from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic issues, or anatomical abnormalities. Penile disorders may include conditions like Peyronie's disease, which involves the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, causing curved erections and pain. Andrological management of these conditions often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including urologists, endocrinologists, and fertility specialists, to address both the physical and psychological aspects of male reproductive health.
