ICD-10 Code A54.22 – Gonococcal prostatitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.22 – Gonococcal prostatitis
What it is
A54.22 identifies prostatitis caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Use it when the prostate infection is documented as gonococcal or due to gonorrhea.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include pelvic or perineal pain, urinary discomfort, and prostate tenderness. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician clearly documents gonococcal prostatitis or prostatitis due to gonorrhea. It applies when the prostate is the stated site of infection, not just a general genitourinary infection. Check documentation if the record only says gonorrhea without specifying prostatitis.
Do not use for
Do not use A54.22 for nongonococcal prostatitis or unspecified prostatitis. Also avoid it when gonorrhea is documented at another site without prostate involvement.
Coding tip
Code the gonococcal infection only when the prostate involvement is explicitly documented.
