Other disorders of lactation

This code describes various unspecified or less common issues related to the production and secretion of breast milk that are not categorized elsewhere. It encompasses a range of lactation problems that do not fit into more specific diagnoses like agalactia, hypogalactia, or engorgement.

Use this code when documentation indicates a maternal lactation disorder that doesn't have a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Examples include persistent milk leakage not due to engorgement, unusual milk consistency, or other atypical lactation concerns. The medical record should clearly describe the specific "other" disorder.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific code for a lactation disorder (e.g., insufficient lactation, engorgement, mastitis) is available.
• Ensure the provider's documentation clearly specifies the nature of the "other" disorder to support code assignment.
• Consider sequencing this code after codes for any underlying conditions or complications related to the lactation disorder.
