About the O87 Code Range
The ICD-10 code O87 covers venous complications and hemorrhoids that occur during the puerperium, the period following childbirth. These codes are used specifically to classify conditions like thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, hemorrhoids, and varicose veins in new mothers.
The section includes detailed codes such as O87.0 for superficial thrombophlebitis, often known as venous thrombosis or phlebitis in puerperium. Code O87.1 identifies deep phlebothrombosis, which is also called postpartum deep vein thrombosis or pelvic thrombophlebitis. Hemorrhoids related to childbirth are classified under O87.2, linked with terms like varicose veins of the perineum in pregnancy or puerperium. Cerebral venous thrombosis in the puerperium is coded as O87.3, while varicose veins of the lower extremities after delivery fall under O87.4. Other less common venous complications in the puerperium are grouped in O87.8. When the specific venous complication is unspecified, O87.9 is applied. These codes help healthcare professionals accurately document and manage postpartum venous issues.
