Inflammatory disorders of seminal vesicle
ICD-10 N49.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of inflammatory disorders of seminal vesicle.
Inflammatory disorders of the seminal vesicle encompass a range of conditions characterized by inflammation of the seminal vesicles, which are glands that produce seminal fluid. These disorders can arise from infections, autoimmune responses, or other underlying medical conditions. Symptoms may include pelvic pain, dysuria, and ejaculatory pain. Inflammation can lead to complications such as male infertility, as the seminal vesicles play a crucial role in the production of seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm. Conditions such as orchitis, which is inflammation of the testes, can also be associated with seminal vesicle disorders. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and laboratory tests to identify the underlying cause. Treatment may include antibiotics for infections, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, surgical intervention. Understanding the interplay between seminal vesicle inflammation and other male reproductive health issues is essential for effective management.
Detailed clinical notes on symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, infertility evaluations, and post-infection follow-ups.
Ensure clear documentation of the relationship between seminal vesicle inflammation and other male reproductive health issues.
Comprehensive assessments of male reproductive health, including semen analysis and hormonal evaluations.
Evaluating male infertility cases, managing complications from inflammatory disorders.
Focus on the impact of seminal vesicle disorders on fertility and the need for multidisciplinary management.
Used when a biopsy is performed to evaluate inflammation or other abnormalities.
Document the indication for the biopsy and findings.
Urologists should ensure that the biopsy results correlate with the diagnosis.
Common symptoms include pelvic pain, dysuria, and pain during ejaculation. Patients may also experience infertility issues due to the impact on seminal fluid production.
