N35.0Post-traumatic urethral stricture

N35.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for post-traumatic urethral stricture. It belongs to category N35 (urethral stricture), block N30-N39 (other diseases of the urinary system) and chapter 14 (diseases of the genitourinary system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within N35 (urethral stricture), N35.0 is specifically for post-traumatic urethral stricture. Related codes cover postinfective urethral stricture, not elsewhere classified (N35.1), other urethral stricture (N35.8) and unspecified (N35.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N35.01 (male) and N35.02 (female).

Don't report N35.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: postprocedural urethral stricture (N99.1-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
