Postinfective urethral stricture, NEC, male, ovrlp sites

This code describes a narrowing of the male urethra resulting from a prior infection, affecting multiple or ill-defined segments of the urethra. This stricture is not attributable to other specific causes like trauma or congenital anomalies. The condition can lead to urinary obstruction and associated symptoms.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a male patient with a urethral stricture identified as a sequela of a past infection. Supporting documentation should specify the male gender and indicate that the stricture involves overlapping or multiple sites within the urethra, and that other causes have been ruled out.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "postinfective" and "male" to support this specific code.
• Verify that the stricture involves "overlapping sites" or is described in a way that implies multiple or ill-defined segments.
• Distinguish from N35.0 (post-traumatic) or N35.10 (unspecified site) strictures.
