N43.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of infected hydrocele. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code N431 is used to code Hydrocele testis

A hydrocele testis is an accumulation of clear fluid in the tunica vaginalis, the most internal of membranes containing a testicle. A primary hydrocele causes a painless enlargement in the scrotum on the affected side and is thought to be due to the defective absorption of fluid secreted between the two layers of the tunica vaginalis (investing membrane). A secondary hydrocele is secondary to either inflammation or a neoplasm in the testis.
