N40-N51: Diseases of male genital organs
N49: Inflammatory disorders of male genital organs, not elsewhere classified
The group of conditions falling under 'Inflammatory disorders of male genital organs, not elsewhere classified' commonly refers to inflammation experienced in the male reproductive system. This inflammation, often indicating an underlying infection or disorder, can affect different parts of the male genitalia, such as the testicles, prostate gland, and epididymis. Common symptoms include discomfort, swelling, redness, and sometimes pain in the affected areas, frequently accompanied by other signs like fever, frequent urination, or discharge. These conditions can be triggered by various factors, including sexually transmitted infections, urinary tract infections, trauma, or certain physical conditions. The progression and severeness of these disorders can vary widely depending on the root cause, level of inflammation, and the specific organ involved. Early detection and appropriate medical intervention are crucial to prevent possible complications like infertility or severe discomfort.
