D29: Benign neoplasm of male genital organs
Benign neoplasms of the male genital organs represent a group of conditions where a growth or mass has formed in the male reproductive organs, without signs of aggressive, cancerous spread. These benign growths can occur in different parts of the male reproductive system such as the prostate, testicles, penis, and other related structures. While they are not cancerous, they might cause discomfort, pain, swelling, or even potentially interfere with the normal functioning of the organ depending on their location and size. The causes of these benign tumors can vary and may include factors like age, hormonal imbalances, and genetic predispositions. Progression of these conditions is generally slow and does not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body as cancers do. However, regular monitoring is essential to ensure they do not evolve into a more serious condition or causes complications.
