Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to N46.1.
- Male infertility due to germinal cell desquamation
- Male infertility due to hypospermatogenesis

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from N46
The conditions below can never be reported together with N46.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- vasectomy status (Z98.52)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 14
The conditions below are not part of N46.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N46.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
