Ovarian dysfunction, unspecified
ICD-10 E28.9 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of ovarian dysfunction, unspecified.
Ovarian dysfunction, unspecified, refers to a condition characterized by the disruption of normal ovarian function, which can lead to irregularities in the menstrual cycle, infertility, and hormonal imbalances. This condition may arise from various underlying factors, including parathyroid, pituitary, and adrenal disorders, which can affect the endocrine system's regulation of reproductive hormones. Hormonal imbalances, such as elevated levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), can indicate ovarian dysfunction. The condition may also be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, or other endocrine disorders. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests to assess hormone levels. Treatment options may vary based on the underlying cause and can include lifestyle modifications, hormonal therapies, or assisted reproductive technologies. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate management and reimbursement, as it reflects the complexity of the patient's condition and the healthcare services provided.
Detailed hormone level assessments, imaging studies, and patient history.
Patients presenting with irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, or signs of hormonal imbalance.
Endocrinologists must document the specific hormonal assays performed and their results to support the diagnosis.
Comprehensive gynecological history, physical examination findings, and any relevant imaging or lab results.
Women experiencing amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, or other menstrual irregularities.
Gynecologists should ensure that all relevant reproductive health factors are documented to support the diagnosis of ovarian dysfunction.
Used when evaluating patients for ovarian dysfunction.
Document specific hormone tests performed and their results.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive hormone panels are included.
Document the patient's symptoms, any relevant lab results, and the clinical rationale for the diagnosis of ovarian dysfunction. Ensure that any underlying conditions are also noted.
