Azoospermia due to drug therapy

This code signifies the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate (azoospermia) that is directly attributable to the use of specific medications. It indicates a drug-induced impairment of spermatogenesis or sperm transport, leading to male infertility.

Use this code when documentation clearly states azoospermia and explicitly links it to a prescribed or illicit drug. This diagnosis is typically made after semen analysis confirms azoospermia and a thorough medical history identifies drug exposure as the causative factor.

• Always sequence this code first if it is the primary reason for the encounter.
• Ensure the medical record specifies the drug responsible for the azoospermia.
• Do not use this code for azoospermia due to other causes, such as congenital anomalies or testicular failure not related to medication.
