Oligospermia due to radiation

This code signifies a reduced sperm count (oligospermia) specifically caused by exposure to radiation. This condition can lead to male infertility due to the damaging effects of radiation on spermatogenesis within the testes.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a patient's oligospermia to a history of radiation exposure, such as therapeutic radiation for cancer treatment or accidental exposure. The medical record should specify both the oligospermia and the causative radiation.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "due to radiation" to support this specific etiology.
• Do not use this code for oligospermia from other causes (e.g., genetic, hormonal, obstructive).
• Consider sequencing this code after the primary diagnosis for which the radiation was administered, if applicable.
