Hypogalactia

This code describes insufficient milk production in a lactating mother. It indicates a condition where the mother is unable to produce an adequate supply of breast milk to meet the nutritional needs of her infant.

Use this code when documentation specifies a diagnosis of low milk supply, insufficient lactation, or inadequate breast milk production. This typically applies to postpartum women experiencing difficulties with breastfeeding due to insufficient glandular tissue, hormonal imbalances, or other physiological factors affecting milk synthesis.

• Differentiate from other breastfeeding problems like painful nipples (O92.1) or engorgement (O92.3).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "insufficient milk supply" or "hypogalactia" rather than general breastfeeding difficulties.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated conditions or complications, such as infant malnutrition if directly linked to the mother's hypogalactia.
