Gonococcal infection of other male genital organs

This code signifies an infection of male reproductive organs, excluding the urethra, caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This includes conditions such as gonococcal epididymitis, orchitis, or prostatitis. It indicates a confirmed gonococcal etiology affecting these specific male genital structures.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of gonorrhea affecting male genital organs other than the urethra, such as the epididymis, testis, or prostate. Supporting documentation should include laboratory confirmation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and a specific anatomical site of infection within the male genital system.

• Do not use this code for gonococcal urethritis; refer to codes in the A54.0-A54.1 range.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "gonococcal" and the affected "other male genital organ" to differentiate from non-gonococcal infections.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when the gonococcal infection of these organs is the reason for the encounter.
