Female genital mutilation Type III status
ICD-10 N90.813 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of female genital mutilation type iii status.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) Type III, also known as infibulation, involves the narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. This is achieved by cutting and repositioning the labia minora and/or labia majora. Women who have undergone this procedure may experience a range of complications, including chronic pain, difficulties during menstruation, childbirth complications, and psychological trauma. The status of FGM Type III indicates that the individual has undergone this procedure, which can lead to various gynecological issues such as cervical dysplasia, uterine disorders, and vaginal disorders. These complications may arise due to scarring, infection, or other non-inflammatory disorders of the female genital tract. It is crucial for healthcare providers to recognize the implications of FGM Type III status in their patients, as it can significantly affect reproductive health and overall well-being. Proper documentation and coding are essential to ensure appropriate care and management of these patients.
