Other disorders of breast and disorders of lactation associated with pregnancy and the puerperium (O92)
The ICD-10 code section O92 is used for classifying various breast disorders and lactation problems linked specifically to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. These codes cover conditions like retracted or cracked nipples, difficulties with milk production, and other breastfeeding issues that can arise during these stages.
This section includes detailed codes such as O92.0 for retracted nipples and its subcategories specifying trimesters during pregnancy, helping pinpoint the timing of the condition. Synonyms like "retraction of nipple in pregnancy" or "difficulty latching on to breast for feeding" relate directly to these codes, aiding medical coders in choosing the accurate diagnosis. Additionally, codes like O92.1 identify cracked nipples associated with pregnancy or lactation, while O92.3 to O92.6 capture lactation failures, including agalactia (no milk), hypogalactia (reduced milk), suppressed lactation, and galactorrhea (unexpected milk flow). Lastly, O92.7 includes unspecified or other lactation disorders, such as breast engorgement or lactation tetany. Using these codes ensures precise documentation of breastfeeding-related complications during pregnancy and the puerperium.

Clinical Terms
The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.
Galactorrhea
Excessive or inappropriate LACTATION in females or males, and not necessarily related to PREGNANCY. Galactorrhea can occur either unilaterally or bilaterally, and be profuse or sparse. Its most common cause is HYPERPROLACTINEMIA.
Tetany
A disorder characterized by muscle twitches, cramps, and carpopedal spasm, and when severe, laryngospasm and seizures. This condition is associated with unstable depolarization of axonal membranes, primarily in the peripheral nervous system. Tetany usually results from HYPOCALCEMIA or reduced serum levels of MAGNESIUM that may be associated with HYPERVENTILATION; HYPOPARATHYROIDISM; RICKETS; UREMIA; or other conditions.
