Female genital mutilation Type II status
ICD-10 N90.812 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of female genital mutilation type ii status.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) Type II, also known as excision, involves the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora. This practice is prevalent in certain cultures and can lead to a variety of physical and psychological complications. Clinically, women who have undergone FGM Type II may experience chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, and complications during childbirth. Additionally, there may be an increased risk of infections and psychological trauma. The status of FGM Type II indicates that the individual has undergone this procedure, which may necessitate specific medical attention and management strategies. It is crucial for healthcare providers to be aware of the implications of FGM Type II on reproductive health, including potential impacts on uterine disorders, cervical dysplasia, and vaginal disorders. Proper coding and documentation are essential to ensure appropriate care and to address the unique needs of these patients.
