N95.8

N95.8 encompasses a range of disorders that occur during the menopausal and perimenopausal phases of a woman's life, which typically occur between the ages of 45 and 55. These disorders can include irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and other symptoms that may not fit neatly into other established categories. The perimenopausal phase is characterized by hormonal fluctuations that can lead to various menstrual disorders, including amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and dysmenorrhea. Additionally, this code may be used for conditions related to female infertility that arise during this transitional period, as well as complications from artificial fertilization procedures. Accurate coding requires a thorough understanding of the patient's symptoms, history, and any treatments they may have undergone, as these factors can significantly influence the clinical picture and the appropriate coding choice.
