Code Description

ICD-10 N50.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified disorders of the male genital organs.

Key Diagnostic Point:

N50.89 encompasses a variety of disorders affecting the male genital organs that do not fall under more specific categories. This includes conditions such as Peyronie's disease, which involves the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, leading to curved, painful erections. Other disorders may include various forms of genital pain, abnormalities in the structure of the penis or scrotum, and issues related to sexual function that are not classified elsewhere. Erectile dysfunction (ED) and ejaculatory disorders, such as premature ejaculation or delayed ejaculation, may also be included under this code when they are not specified as primary diagnoses. These conditions can significantly impact a man's sexual health and quality of life, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach for management, including urologists, endocrinologists, and mental health professionals. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment and reimbursement, as well as for tracking the prevalence and outcomes of these disorders in the male population.
