Diseases of the genitourinary system is a chapter in ICD-11 that includes conditions affecting the urinary organs and the male and female reproductive systems, which are essential for excretion, reproduction, and hormonal balance. These disorders may result from infections, inflammatory processes, structural abnormalities, functional disturbances, congenital anomalies, or degenerative changes, leading to symptoms such as pain, altered urinary function, reproductive difficulties, or hormonal imbalances.
This chapter encompasses a wide range of conditions including kidney and bladder disorders, urinary tract infections, diseases of the prostate, and disorders of the male and female reproductive organs. Accurate classification supports timely diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term management, while also aiding clinical research, epidemiological monitoring, and public health efforts related to renal and reproductive health.
