N48.9: Disorder of penis, unspecified
Disorder of the penis, unspecified (ICD-10 code N48.9), refers to any abnormal physical condition that affects the male genital organ that isn't specified under any other similar categories. Symptoms of these disorders may vary widely depending upon the underlying condition and may include, but not limited to, pain, swelling, abnormal curvature, difficulty with urination or sexual function, or visible abnormalities on the skin of the organ. These disorders can be caused by a multitude of factors including infections, injuries, or underlying medical conditions like diabetes or cancer. It's important to note that this term is usually used when a more specific diagnosis hasn't been made. Further examination and tests are usually required to understand the root cause of the disorder.
