Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- venous complications in labor, delivery and the puerperium
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

After childbirth, vein problems and hemorrhoids, also called piles, can occur during the puerperium, the period following birth.
The subdivisions separate surface-vein inflammation with clotting O87.0 from deep-vein clotting O87.1. They identify hemorrhoids O87.2, clots in brain veins O87.3, and varicose veins in the legs O87.4. Other vein complications fall under O87.8; an unspecified vein complication falls under O87.9.
