Female genital mutilation status, unspecified
ICD-10 N90.810 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of female genital mutilation status, unspecified.
N90.810 refers to the status of female genital mutilation (FGM), which encompasses various procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. This code is used when the specific type of FGM is not documented or is unknown. FGM can lead to a range of complications, including chronic pain, infections, and complications during childbirth. It is essential for healthcare providers to recognize the potential long-term effects of FGM on women's health, including psychological trauma and sexual dysfunction. The code is particularly relevant in the context of uterine disorders, cervical dysplasia, and vaginal disorders, as FGM may contribute to or exacerbate these conditions. Accurate documentation is crucial for understanding the patient's history and guiding appropriate treatment options. The use of this code is vital in public health discussions and interventions aimed at addressing the health consequences of FGM and promoting women's health rights.
