Irregular menstruation, unspecified
ICD-10 N92.6 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of irregular menstruation, unspecified.
Irregular menstruation, unspecified, refers to menstrual cycles that do not follow a predictable pattern in terms of timing, duration, or flow. This condition can manifest as irregular intervals between periods, variations in the length of menstrual bleeding, or changes in the volume of menstrual flow. Irregular menstruation can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, significant weight changes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and other underlying health issues. It is important to note that while irregular menstruation is common, especially during adolescence and perimenopause, it can also indicate more serious reproductive health concerns. Accurate diagnosis often requires a thorough medical history, physical examination, and possibly laboratory tests to identify any underlying conditions. Treatment options may vary based on the underlying cause and can include lifestyle modifications, hormonal therapies, or other medical interventions aimed at restoring regular menstrual cycles.
