ICD10 code of Endometriosis and ICD9 code

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and often leading to fertility issues. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for endometriosis is N80.9. The "N" represents diseases of the genitourinary system, and "80" refers to noninflammatory disorders of the female genital tract, with "9" indicating an unspecified site.

In the previous revision, ICD-9, endometriosis was coded as 617.9. The "6" category in ICD-9 deals with inflammatory diseases of the female pelvic organs, while "17" specifically denotes nonmalignant neoplasm of the female genital organs. The ".9" indicates that the site of the condition was unspecified.

It is important to note that ICD-10 codes are more detailed and specific compared to ICD-9 codes, allowing for better accuracy in medical coding and classification. This enables healthcare providers, researchers, and insurers to have a clearer understanding of the condition being diagnosed or treated.
