2025 ICD-10-CM code N70.92
Oophoritis, unspecified.

Diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional, such as a gynecologist.
- Diseases of the genitourinary system (N00-N99)

In simple words: Inflammation of the ovaries.
Inflammation of the ovary, without further specification.
Example 1: A 30-year-old female presents with pelvic pain and fever. Upon examination, the physician suspects oophoritis.Further investigation and imaging may be required to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions like salpingitis or tubo-ovarian abscess., A patient with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) experiences recurrent lower abdominal pain. Oophoritis is suspected as a possible cause of the recurring symptoms.Ultrasound or laparoscopy might be used to ascertain the inflammation and assess the extent of ovarian involvement., During a routine pelvic exam, a patient reports mild discomfort. The physician notes tenderness in the adnexal area, raising suspicion of oophoritis or other inflammatory processes. Lab tests, like a complete blood count (CBC) or C-reactive protein (CRP), along with imaging studies might help in confirming the presence and severity of the inflammation.
Symptoms such as pain and tenderness in the pelvic area, fever, abnormal vaginal discharge. Relevant medical history including past infections or pelvic inflammatory disease. Physical examination findings. Lab results, imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan), and other diagnostic tests if performed.
** This code is used when there is no further specification of the type of oophoritis (e.g., acute, chronic) or when the documentation does not provide enough detail to support a more specific code.
