N40-N51: Diseases of male genital organs
N48: Other disorders of penis
The group of conditions classified as "Other disorders of penis" under the N48 code in the ICD-10 WHO 2016 classification encompasses a range of medical issues relating to the penile health of a male individual. These conditions often include physical abnormalities, inflammation, benign growths, or circulation problems that may affect the penis. Each disorder within this group presents various symptoms which could include pain, discomfort, changes in skin color, and noticeable physical changes like swelling or the appearance of lumps. These problems might arise due to a multitude of factors such as injury, inflammation, infections, or circulatory conditions. The progression of the disorders in this group varies greatly: for instance, some may resolve on their own or with minimal intervention, while others might warrant more intensive medical attention. Generally, these conditions primarily impact the urinary and reproductive systems due to the penises’ role in both functions.
