R86: Abnormal findings in specimens from male genital organs
The group of conditions denoted as "abnormal findings in specimens from male genital organs" encompasses any unusual or unexpected results obtained from lab analysis of tissues or fluids from the male reproductive system, namely the penis, testicles, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and vas deferens. These findings could arise due to a wide range of conditions, from infections or sexually transmitted diseases to benign (non-cancerous) tumors, cancerous growths, or any disorders affecting male fertility and sexual functions. Each of these may manifest differently, presenting a wide spectrum of symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain, swelling, changes in sexual function, or problems with urination. Understanding the exact nature of the abnormal findings can help in charting the appropriate course of medical intervention. Disease progression varies depending on the underlying condition and could affect one or more systems including, but not limited to, the urinary system and endocrine (hormonal) system.
