Z87.4: Personal history of diseases of the genitourinary system
You have or had a disease of the urinary organs or genitals.
The urinary organs include organs that form urine or excrete it from the body. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.
Before the start of a medical measure, it is common to be asked about existing or past diseases. The reason for this is that these diseases may sometimes adversely affect a treatment. Furthermore, special measures may be required due to existing diseases, for example with support and care.
