N99-N99: Other disorders of the genitourinary system
N99: Postprocedural disorders of genitourinary system, not elsewhere classified
Postprocedural disorders of the genitourinary system refer to a group of problems that occur after a medical or surgical procedure involving the organs of the urinary and sexual systems. These include organs such as the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra in both genders, and also the prostate in males and uterus, ovaries or fallopian tubes in females. The issues can arise due to various reasons like infection, accidental injury during the procedure, or a negative reaction to the procedure. The symptoms usually vary depending on the affected organ and the type of procedure performed, but may include pain, trouble urinating, blood in the urine, or uncontrolled loss of urine. As these disorders progress, they can lead to more serious complications, such as kidney damage, infertility, or chronic pain. It's important to note that not everyone who has a genitourinary procedure will develop these conditions, and they can often be corrected with proper medical care.
