About the O91 Code Range
ICD-10 codes in the O91 section cover infections and inflammatory conditions of the breast specifically related to pregnancy, the puerperium (postpartum period), and lactation. These codes help identify and classify various infections such as nipple infections, breast abscesses, and mastitis occurring during these stages.
This section details conditions like nipple infections (O91.0 series), which can occur during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and includes subcodes specifying the trimester involved for pregnancy-related cases. It also includes breast abscesses (O91.1 series), which are localized collections of pus associated with pregnancy or lactation, and similarly, these have trimester-specific subcodes. The category for nonpurulent mastitis (O91.2 series) covers inflammatory breast conditions without pus, occurring during pregnancy, postpartum, or lactation. Synonyms such as obstetric nipple infection, postpartum mastitis, and breast abscess during lactation often relate to these official ICD-10 codes, aiding coders and clinicians in linking clinical terms to the correct code. Thus, the ICD-10 code for infections of breast associated with pregnancy, the puerperium and lactation assists accurate documentation and treatment monitoring of these specific maternal breast conditions.
