O94: Sequelae of complication of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium

Sequelae of complications of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium refer to a group of conditions that are late effects or complications arising from pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period. These could be physical or psychological issues experienced by the mother following the birth of her child. Such complications may include cardiac issues, psychiatric disorders, abdominal problems, reproductive issues, or urinary system complications. Symptoms and severity vary widely depending on the nature of the underlying complication. Some women may experience anemia, fatigue, or ongoing pelvic pain. Others may encounter emotional issues like postpartum depression or anxiety. These conditions can manifest immediately after childbirth or can become apparent much later. It's important to note that these are potential complications and don't occur in every pregnancy or childbirth experience. These issues are typically identified and managed by healthcare professionals during regular postnatal check-ups.
