Z32: Pregnancy examination and test

Z32.0: Pregnancy, not (yet) confirmed

Z32.0 refers to the medical condition of unconfirmed pregnancy. This is when an individual believes they may be pregnant, usually based on various early signs and symptoms, but it has not yet been medically confirmed. Common signs might include a missed period, breast tenderness, increased urination, nausea, and fatigue, though these symptoms can also be associated with other health conditions. It is generally recommended that a pregnancy test, which measures the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is used as a preliminary method of confirmation. These come in over-the-counter versions for home use or a blood test done at a doctor's office. If initial tests suggest pregnancy, further medical tests and exams are performed to definitively confirm the pregnancy.
