The ICD-10 code for low testosterone or male hypogonadism is E29.1. This code falls under the category of Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases. Some key points about E29.1 Icd10 code:
- It covers testicular hypofunction which results in low blood testosterone levels. This includes primary and secondary hypogonadism in males.
- Primary hypogonadism means the testes themselves do not produce enough testosterone. Causes include Klinefelter syndrome, trauma, infections, etc.
- Secondary hypogonadism is due to hormonal issues in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The testes may be normal but don’t get signals to produce testosterone.
- Low testosterone or male hypogonadism can cause various symptoms like:
- Low sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Depressed mood
- Difficulties with concentration and memory
- Fatigue
- Loss of body and facial hair
- Decrease in muscle mass and strength
- Diagnosis involves checking at least two early morning blood testosterone levels as levels show circadian variation. Levels are compared against standard reference ranges.
- Total testosterone level below 300 ng/dL generally confirms diagnosis
- Free or bioavailable testosterone may also be tested
- Treatment options:
- Testosterone replacement therapy with gels, patches, injections, etc.
- Addressing underlying causes if secondary hypogonadism
- Lifestyle modifications like weight loss, exercise, stress management
