Z64.0: Problems related to unwanted pregnancy

Problems related to unwanted pregnancy, coded as Z64.0 in the ICD-10 WHO classification, is a condition that constitutes any emotional, physical, psychological, or social issues that result from an unplanned or undesired pregnancy. This could include various personal circumstances such as financial instability, lack of support systems, or disruption to educational or career plans, among others. The situation can also present a significant psychological burden, with potential feelings of anxiety, distress, conflicts or confusion surrounding the decision to continue or terminate the pregnancy. The physical impact of an unwanted pregnancy could also manifest in neglect of prenatal care or delayed access to healthcare. It's important to note that each individual's experience with an unwanted pregnancy can vary greatly based on personal, societal, and cultural contexts. For a full understanding of one's condition and available options, it's crucial to seek personalized medical and mental health support.
