Gonococcal prostatitis

This code identifies inflammation of the prostate gland specifically caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection. It represents a sexually transmitted infection manifesting as a localized genitourinary condition in males.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of prostatitis confirmed to be gonococcal in origin, typically through laboratory testing (e.g., culture, NAAT). This code is appropriate for both acute and chronic presentations of gonococcal prostatitis.

• Always confirm the causative organism is Neisseria gonorrhoeae; do not use for non-gonococcal bacterial prostatitis.
• Code any associated gonococcal infections (e.g., urethritis, epididymitis) separately if documented.
• Ensure documentation specifies "gonococcal" to differentiate from other forms of prostatitis (e.g., N41.0 for acute, N41.1 for chronic bacterial prostatitis).
