Other ovarian dysfunction
ICD-10 E28.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ovarian dysfunction.
Other ovarian dysfunction encompasses a variety of conditions that affect the normal functioning of the ovaries, which can lead to hormonal imbalances and reproductive issues. This code is used when the dysfunction does not fit into more specific categories such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian failure. Conditions may include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, luteal phase defects, or other endocrine-related disorders affecting ovarian function. Hormonal imbalances can arise from dysfunctions in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, or adrenal glands, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, or other reproductive health issues. The interplay between these endocrine glands is crucial, as they regulate the secretion of hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which are vital for normal ovarian function. Diagnosis often requires a comprehensive evaluation, including hormonal assays and imaging studies, to determine the underlying cause of the dysfunction. Treatment may involve hormonal therapies, lifestyle modifications, or addressing any underlying endocrine disorders.
