Herpesviral infection of other male genital organs

This code signifies a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection affecting male genital organs other than the penis, such as the scrotum, epididymis, or seminal vesicles. It represents an active, symptomatic viral infection in these specific anatomical sites.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a herpesviral infection localized to male genital organs other than the penis. This includes conditions like herpetic scrotal lesions, epididymitis due to HSV, or other specified herpesviral infections of the male reproductive system. Documentation should specify the affected "other" male genital organ.

• Ensure the documentation specifies an HSV infection and clearly identifies a male genital organ other than the penis.
• Do not use this code for penile herpes; refer to A60.01 for that specific site.
• If the infection is disseminated or involves multiple sites, consider additional codes to fully capture the patient's condition.
