N99-N99: Other disorders of the genitourinary system
Other disorders of the genitourinary system, as the name suggests, are a group of conditions that impact the genital and urinary organs. These disorders may result from damage, infection, or complications following a surgical procedure on these organ systems. Typical signs and symptoms often include pain during urination, blood in the urine, unusual discharge, pelvic or lower back pain, and a frequent urge to urinate. However, exact symptoms may vary based on the specific disorder. The conditions included in this group can affect both men and women, and they can occur at any age. Some disorders can progress and lead to more severe complications if left untreated, such as kidney damage or infertility. They are typically diagnosed using a combination of physical examination, patient history, and diagnostic tests such as urinalysis or imaging studies. The exact progression and outcome of these disorders depend heavily on the underlying cause, the patient's overall health, and the timeliness and effectiveness of treatment.
