Infertility, female, associated with anovulation

This code signifies female infertility directly resulting from the absence of ovulation. It indicates a physiological inability to conceive due to the ovaries not releasing an egg regularly or at all. This condition is a common cause of female subfertility.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states female infertility attributed to anovulation. This includes conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) where anovulation is a primary feature, or other endocrine disorders leading to ovulatory dysfunction. Supporting documentation should clearly link the infertility diagnosis to anovulatory cycles.

• Ensure documentation specifies "anovulation" as the cause of infertility, not just general female infertility.
• Do not use this code if the cause of infertility is unknown or attributed to other factors (e.g., tubal, uterine, male factor).
• Consider sequencing this code as the primary diagnosis when anovulation is the definitive reason for the infertility workup or treatment.
