Diseases of Bartholin's gland (N75)

Diseases of Bartholin's gland (ICD-10 code N75) cover medical conditions affecting the Bartholin's glands, including cysts, abscesses, and other related disorders.

The ICD-10 code N75.0 specifically refers to a cyst of Bartholin's gland, which may also be described as a cyst of the vulva or cyst of the Bartholin's gland duct on either side. When the gland becomes infected and pus collects, it is coded as N75.1, abscess of Bartholin's gland. This includes infections such as gonococcal abscesses and general infections of the gland. Other inflammatory conditions not classified as cysts or abscesses fall under N75.8, other diseases of Bartholin's gland, which includes terms like bartholinitis and acute pyococcal bartholinitis. In cases where the specific disease is not identified, N75.9 is used for unspecified Bartholin's gland disease, such as discharge or general disorders. These codes assist healthcare providers in documenting and billing for various inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions affecting the female pelvic organs.
