Contusion of genital organs

This code signifies a bruise or blunt trauma to the external or internal genital organs, excluding those with an open wound. It indicates damage to soft tissues, blood vessels, and nerves without a break in the skin or mucous membranes.

Apply this code when documentation specifies a contusion, hematoma, or ecchymosis of the penis, scrotum, testes, vulva, vagina, or perineum resulting from blunt force. This includes injuries from falls, sports, or direct impact without laceration or avulsion.

• Differentiate from open wounds of the genital organs, which would require an open wound code.
• Specify the exact anatomical site of the contusion if further detail is available (e.g., penis, scrotum, vulva).
• Consider an external cause code (E-code) to describe the circumstances of the injury.
