What ICD-10 codes are used for post-menopausal bleeding?
Post menopausal bleeding is characterized by vaginal bleeding at least 12 months after a woman's last menstrual period. Here are the commonly used post menopausal bleeding ICD codes:
- N95.0 - Postmenopausal bleeding: This can be used only if the patient is confirmed to be dealing with postmenopausal bleeding.
- N93.9 - Abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding, unspecified: This can be used if the patient is dealing with abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding. The type or reason isn't known/specified, but it should be happening during post-menopause.
- N93.8 - Other specified abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding: Same thing as above, but the specific abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding is known but has no specific code.
- D25.9 - Leiomyoma of uterus, unspecified: This can be used if the patient is confirmed to have a leiomyoma of the uterus, but it's not confirmed/specified what the specific location in the uterus it's in.
- C54.1 - Malignant neoplasm of endometrium: This can be used if the patient is confirmed to have a malignant tumor in their endometrium.
Please note that some of these codes can be used for bleeding associated with the premenopausal period and for (other) perimenopausal disorders. However, in the context of this guide, make sure only to use some of these if they're confirmed postmenopause.
