In simple words: This code describes an injury to the external genitals caused by something crushing them, like being squeezed between heavy objects. This can cause bleeding, cuts, bruising, and other damage. Doctors will examine the injury and may use imaging tests (like X-rays) to see how serious it is. Treatment might involve stopping the bleeding, surgery, and medication.

A crushing injury of the external genital organs is an injury caused by intense pressure, typically from being squeezed or pressed between two objects. This results in partial or complete separation of muscle and part of the external genital organs from their normal attachment due to trauma.The injury may involve bleeding, bruising, infection, fracture, laceration, nerve injury, loss of body part, tingling or numbness, scarring, and damage to soft tissue. Diagnosis is based on the patient's account of the event, physical examination of the wound, and imaging studies (X-rays, CT, CTA, MRI) to assess the extent of the damage. Treatment may include controlling bleeding, surgical repair (if needed), medication (analgesics, antibiotics, tetanus prophylaxis, NSAIDs), and physical/occupational therapy.Infection management may also be necessary.

Example 1: A patient is involved in a motor vehicle accident and sustains a crushing injury to their external genitalia from impact with the steering wheel. , A construction worker is injured when a heavy object falls on his lower abdomen, resulting in a crushing injury to his penis and scrotum. , A female patient sustains a crushing injury to her vulva after being caught in machinery at a factory.

Detailed patient history including mechanism of injury, physical examination findings, photographic documentation of wounds, and imaging results (X-rays, CT, MRI, etc.) as clinically indicated. Operative reports if surgical repair is performed, pathology reports if tissue is sent for analysis, and records showing post-operative care, including medication administration and follow-up appointments.

** This code is for the initial encounter. Subsequent encounters require use of the appropriate seventh character (A, D, or S) to specify the encounter status. The seventh character A represents an initial encounter, D represents a subsequent encounter, and S represents a sequela.
