N35.111
ICD-10-CMPostinfective urethral stricture, not elsewhere classified, male, meatal
This code describes a narrowing of the male urethra at the meatus (the external opening) that has developed as a consequence of a prior infection. This stricture is not attributable to other specified causes like trauma or congenital anomalies.
Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates a male patient has a meatal urethral stricture resulting from a previous infection. The physician's notes should specify the meatal location and confirm the postinfective etiology, excluding other causes.
