Z30-Z39: Persons encountering health services in circumstances related to reproduction

Z31: Procreative management

The term "Procreative Management" involves a group of conditions related to fertility and reproductive health. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, counseling and advice on conception, fertility testing, infertility treatments, surgical procedures for problems with reproductive organs, and management of both natural and assisted reproduction. It can affect both men and women of reproductive age, manifesting in challenges when trying to conceive a child. Some may experience no overt symptoms beyond difficulty conceiving, whereas others may have signs like irregular periods in women, lower sexual drive, or changes in hair growth suggesting hormonal issues. Conditions under procreative management often progress and are managed over time, rather than having a quick "cure." Aside from the reproductive system, these conditions may have psychological impacts due to the emotional stress associated with fertility issues.
