O92: Other disorders of breast and lactation associated with childbirth
O92.7: Other and unspecified disorders of lactation
Other and unspecified disorders of lactation refers to a range of conditions that affect a woman's ability to breastfeed after giving birth. These disorders can occur due to various reasons, such as hormonal imbalances, physical abnormalities, or even psychosocial factors, making breastfeeding difficult or painful. Symptoms could include problems with producing enough breast milk, experiencing pain during breastfeeding, or issues related to the flow or release of milk. In certain cases, the woman might not produce any milk at all, a condition known as agalactia. An individual may also experience changes in the consistency or color of the breast milk, indicating potential underlying issues that affect lactation. It is important to note that these conditions are not related to the general complications of breastfeeding such as infections or mastitis. These disorders can impact the overall well-being of both the mother and the infant if they result in inadequate nutrition for the baby.
