N40-N51: Diseases of male genital organs

The diseases of male genital organs refer to a group of medical conditions that affect the reproductive structures unique to men. These conditions can originate in different organs, such as the prostate, testicles, penis, and supporting structures. Some of these diseases can be due to genetic or congenital abnormalities, infections, hormonal imbalances, or injuries. Common symptoms across these diseases can include discomfort or pain in the region, abnormal discharge, changes in sexual function, or abnormalities in organ appearance. The progression of these diseases can vary significantly, ranging from benign and self-limiting conditions to serious, life-threatening illnesses. As these conditions directly affect the male reproductive system, they can potentially affect fertility and urinary function. It should also be noted that while some of these diseases, like sexually transmitted infections, can be preventable, others - such as genetic conditions - are not.
