2025 ICD-10-CM code K58

Irritable bowel syndrome. Includes: irritable colon, spastic colon.

Use more specific codes (K58.0-K58.9) if the subtype of IBS is known (e.g., IBS-D, IBS-C, IBS-M). If documentation does not specify the subtype, K58 is used.

Medical necessity for IBS relates to evaluating chronic abdominal symptoms and altered bowel habits. This involves ruling out other potential causes and managing symptoms that impact the patient's quality of life. The Rome IV criteria can help establish a diagnosis.

Diagnosis and management often fall under gastroenterologists or primary care physicians.Clinical responsibility includes thorough evaluation to exclude other conditions, patient education on lifestyle modifications (diet, stress management), and medication management for symptom control.

In simple words: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the large intestine. Symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation, or both.IBS isn't dangerous and doesn't cause other diseases like cancer, but it can be very uncomfortable and interfere with daily life.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or both).While not life-threatening, it significantly impacts quality of life. Diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions and may include assessment of symptoms, physical examination, and sometimes further investigations.

Example 1: A 30-year-old female presents with recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, and alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation over six months.Other investigations are negative, and she is diagnosed with IBS., A 45-year-old male experiences chronic constipation and abdominal discomfort. After excluding other organic causes, he is diagnosed with IBS-C., A 25-year-old student presents with frequent, loose stools and abdominal cramping, worsened by stress.She is diagnosed with IBS-D.

Symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, altered bowel habits. Frequency, duration, and characteristics of symptoms. Dietary habits, stress levels, response to prior treatments (if any). Results of physical exam, and other investigations to rule out differential diagnoses.
