O92: Other disorders of breast and lactation associated with childbirth
O92.5: Suppressed lactation
Suppressed lactation, denoted by ICD-10 code O92.5, is a medical condition experienced by some women after childbirth. This occurs when the normal production of breast milk is inhibited or does not start within the expected timeframe following the delivery of a baby. Suppressed lactation can result from a variety of reasons including stress, certain medical conditions, or specific medications. Common symptoms might include absence of breast milk, swelling and tenderness in the breasts, or high temperature. It could directly affect the nutrition supply to the newborn and can lead to emotional distress for both the mother and infant. Timely intervention can support lactation and promote the establishment of an effective milk supply.
