Female genital mutilation Type I status
ICD-10 N90.811 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of female genital mutilation type i status.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) Type I status refers to the partial or total removal of the clitoral hood and/or the clitoris. This practice is recognized as a violation of human rights and can lead to various physical and psychological complications. Clinically, women who have undergone Type I FGM may experience a range of issues, including but not limited to chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, and complications during childbirth. Additionally, FGM can lead to psychological trauma, anxiety, and depression. It is essential for healthcare providers to understand the implications of FGM on women's health, particularly in relation to uterine disorders, cervical dysplasia, and vaginal disorders. The presence of FGM Type I status may complicate the diagnosis and management of these conditions, as the anatomical changes can affect the presentation and treatment options available. Proper documentation and coding are crucial to ensure that the unique health needs of these patients are met and to facilitate appropriate care.
