Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the N47 range.
Paraphimosis
A condition in which the FORESKIN, once retracted, cannot return to its original position. If this condition persists, it can lead to painful constriction of GLANS PENIS, swelling, and impaired blood flow to the penis.
Phimosis
A condition in which the FORESKIN cannot be retracted to reveal the GLANS PENIS. It is due to tightness or narrowing of the foreskin opening.
About the N47 Code Range
The ICD-10 code N47 covers a range of disorders specifically affecting the prepuce, commonly called the foreskin. These codes are used to classify conditions like phimosis, paraphimosis, and balanoposthitis, which are distinct disorders involving the foreskin and related structures.
This section includes codes for various foreskin problems, such as N47.1 for phimosis, which is described by synonyms like "tight foreskin" or "foreskin does not retract," helping coders identify the correct code for this condition. N47.2 identifies paraphimosis, a painful condition where the retracted foreskin is trapped behind the glans. Inflammatory conditions affecting the foreskin, like balanoposthitis (N47.6), are also included. Other codes like N47.4 for benign cysts and N47.5 for adhesions address less common but specific foreskin disorders. This classification aids healthcare professionals and coders in precisely recording male genital conditions related to the prepuce, ensuring accurate medical documentation and treatment planning under the umbrella of ICD-10 coding for male genital disorders.
