O92: Other disorders of breast and lactation associated with childbirth

The condition range O92 pertains to a group of disorders associated with breast and lactation that are linked to childbirth. These conditions commonly manifest during the period of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. The symptoms and progression of the disorders can vary, ranging from abnormalities in the production of breast milk like hyperlactation (excessive milk production) or agalactia (absence of milk production), to physical alterations in the breast such as mastitis (breast inflammation typically caused by infection) and breastfeeding complications. Certain conditions within this category may emerge due to hormonal changes that occur during and after pregnancy, the physical act of breastfeeding, or even breast infections that may arise in this period. The affected system is predominantly the female reproductive system specifically focusing on the breasts. These conditions may have an impact on a mother's ability to breastfeed and may potentially influence the mother and infant's health during the postnatal phase.
