N40-N51: Diseases of male genital organs
N51: Disorders of male genital organs in diseases classified elsewhere
The group of conditions under "Disorders of male genital organs in diseases classified elsewhere" involve male reproductive system complications that arise as a result of an underlying disease. Not specifically a disease on its own, these conditions pertain to how other diseases can cause complications or abnormalities within the male genitalia. These might include infections, inflammation, or tumors in parts like the prostate, testes, and penis. Such disorders could be secondary to a wide array of diseases such as diabetes, blood disorders, or infections, among others. Common symptoms may include pain, swelling, changes in urination or sexual function. The progression of these disorders is highly variable, generally reflecting the nature and course of the underlying disease. Thus, affected systems beyond the genitourinary tract largely depend on the primary illness involved.
