Menopausal and female climacteric states
ICD-10 N95.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of menopausal and female climacteric states.
N95.1 refers to menopausal and female climacteric states, which encompass a range of physiological and psychological changes that occur as women transition from reproductive to non-reproductive phases of life. This transition is marked by the cessation of menstruation, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55, and is characterized by a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. Symptoms may include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances. These changes can lead to various menstrual disorders, such as irregular periods or amenorrhea, and may also contribute to female infertility. Additionally, complications arising from artificial fertilization procedures, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, may be relevant in this context. Understanding the nuances of menopausal and climacteric states is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, as well as for appropriate coding and billing practices.
