Azoospermia due to infection

This code signifies the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate (azoospermia) that is directly attributable to an infectious process. This condition leads to male infertility and requires investigation into the underlying infection affecting the reproductive tract.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates azoospermia and specifies an infection as the causative factor. This typically follows semen analysis confirming azoospermia and clinical findings or laboratory results identifying a reproductive tract infection (e.g., epididymitis, orchitis, prostatitis) as the etiology.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly links the azoospermia to a documented infection.
• Code the underlying infection first, if known and active, followed by this code.
• Do not use for obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia without a confirmed infectious cause.
