Vascular disorders of male genital organs

This code signifies conditions affecting the blood vessels within the male reproductive organs, excluding the prostate. It encompasses issues such as arterial or venous insufficiency, thrombosis, or aneurysms specifically impacting structures like the testes, epididymis, spermatic cord, or penis. These vascular abnormalities can lead to pain, dysfunction, or tissue damage.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a vascular disorder localized to the male genital organs (e.g., testicular artery thrombosis, penile venous leakage, spermatic cord varicocele). Supporting documentation should specify the affected vessel(s) and the nature of the vascular pathology. It is appropriate for conditions like priapism due to vascular causes or ischemic orchitis.

• Do not use for prostatic vascular disorders; these are coded elsewhere.
• Ensure the documentation specifies a vascular etiology, not just a general disorder of the male genital organs.
• Consider sequencing with codes for underlying systemic conditions (e.g., atherosclerosis, hypercoagulable states) if applicable and documented.
