Other diseases of Bartholin's gland
ICD-10 N75.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other diseases of bartholin's gland.
Bartholin's glands are two small glands located at the posterior portion of the vaginal opening, responsible for secreting mucus to lubricate the vagina. Disorders of the Bartholin's glands can include cysts, abscesses, and inflammation, which may lead to discomfort, pain, or infection. Other diseases of the Bartholin's gland encompass a variety of conditions that do not fall under the more common diagnoses of cysts or abscesses. These may include chronic inflammation, neoplasms, or other atypical presentations. Symptoms often include localized pain, swelling, and sometimes fever if an infection is present. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, and imaging studies may be utilized to assess the extent of the condition. Treatment options vary based on the specific diagnosis and may include conservative management, surgical intervention, or antibiotics for infections. Understanding the nuances of these conditions is crucial for accurate coding and effective patient management.
Thorough clinical notes detailing symptoms, examination findings, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with pain, swelling, or discharge from the vaginal area.
Ensure accurate differentiation between cysts, abscesses, and other diseases for proper coding.
Detailed history and physical examination notes, including any imaging results.
Menopausal women or those with pelvic pain presenting with Bartholin's gland issues.
Consideration of urinary symptoms that may overlap with gynecological presentations.
Used when a patient presents with a Bartholin's gland abscess requiring surgical intervention.
Document the indication for the procedure, findings during the procedure, and post-operative care.
Ensure that the procedure is linked to the correct diagnosis code for accurate billing.
Symptoms such as localized pain, swelling, and discharge from the vaginal area may indicate a Bartholin's gland disorder, warranting the use of N75.8.
