Personal history of contraception, presenting hazards to health

This code indicates a patient's past use of contraceptive methods that has resulted in or is currently associated with health complications or risks. It signifies that a prior contraceptive regimen is a contributing factor to the patient's current health status, even if the contraception is no longer being used.

Use this code when a patient presents with a health issue that is directly linked to their past contraceptive use, such as a history of deep vein thrombosis attributed to oral contraceptives, or a retained IUD causing complications. It is appropriate for documenting sequelae or ongoing risks from a discontinued contraceptive method.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the current condition or complication.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current health issue to the patient's personal history of contraception.
• Do not use this code for current contraceptive management without associated hazards; use V25.x codes for routine contraception.
