Y07: Other maltreatment

Y07.0: By spouse or partner

Y07.0 refers to a category of medical conditions or injuries that result from abuse or assault by a spouse or partner. These may include various forms of physical, sexual, or mental injury. Physical injuries can range from cuts, burns, or bruises to fractures and internal injuries depending on the severity of the assault. Sexual abuse may lead to several physical or mental complications like physical injuries, sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies, anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Psychological abuse can cause emotional distress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other mental disorders. The extent and nature of these conditions vary significantly depending on the severity, frequency, and duration of the abuse, as well as on the subjected individual's physical and mental health status prior to the abuse. It's important to note that these conditions are caused by abusive actions of an individual's spouse or partner.
