Vascular disorders of male genital organs
ICD-10 N50.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of vascular disorders of male genital organs.
Vascular disorders of male genital organs encompass a range of conditions that affect the blood vessels supplying the male reproductive system. These disorders can lead to erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, and other sexual health issues. Common causes include atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and other vascular diseases that impair blood flow. The clinical presentation may include difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, reduced libido, and altered ejaculation patterns. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and may include imaging studies to assess vascular integrity. Treatment options vary based on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, or surgical interventions. Understanding the vascular health of male genital organs is crucial for addressing sexual health concerns and improving quality of life.
Detailed patient history, physical examination findings, and results of any imaging studies.
Patients presenting with erectile dysfunction, penile pain, or ejaculatory issues.
Ensure clear documentation of vascular assessments and any comorbid conditions.
Thorough evaluation of hormonal levels and metabolic conditions affecting vascular health.
Patients with diabetes or hormonal imbalances presenting with sexual dysfunction.
Document any endocrine evaluations that may contribute to vascular disorders.
Used to assess blood flow in cases of erectile dysfunction.
Document indications for the test and findings.
Urologists should ensure comprehensive reports are available.
Common causes include atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and other vascular diseases that impair blood flow to the genital organs.
A thorough medical history, physical examination, and appropriate diagnostic tests such as Doppler ultrasound can help differentiate between vascular and psychological causes.
