Right testicular pain
ICD-10 N50.811 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of right testicular pain.
Right testicular pain refers to discomfort or pain localized to the right testicle, which can arise from various underlying conditions affecting the male genital organs. This pain may be acute or chronic and can be associated with conditions such as epididymitis, testicular torsion, trauma, or referred pain from other abdominal or pelvic disorders. The pain can vary in intensity and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as swelling, redness, or changes in urinary or sexual function. Accurate diagnosis often requires a thorough clinical evaluation, including a physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests to identify the underlying cause. Treatment options depend on the etiology and may include antibiotics for infections, surgical intervention for torsion, or pain management strategies. Understanding the nuances of this condition is crucial for effective management and coding, as it can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and sexual health.
