In simple words: This code is for breast inflammation (swelling and pain) that happens after childbirth and isn't caused by an infection with pus-forming bacteria.

This code classifies nonpurulent mastitis occurring during the puerperium (the period after childbirth).It specifically refers to inflammation of the breast tissue that is not caused by pus-forming bacteria.This condition can present with pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in the breast.

Example 1: A 30-year-old woman, 2 weeks postpartum, presents with breast pain, swelling, and redness in her right breast.Physical examination reveals localized inflammation without purulent discharge.A diagnosis of puerperal nonpurulent mastitis is made., A 25-year-old woman, one month postpartum, reports breast discomfort and tenderness. Examination shows localized breast swelling and erythema, but no fluctuance or purulent drainage.The diagnosis is nonpurulent mastitis associated with the puerperium., A 35-year-old woman, experiencing breastfeeding difficulties, presents with unilateral breast pain and swelling without signs of infection.Clinical evaluation confirms nonpurulent mastitis, likely related to breastfeeding challenges in the postpartum period.

Complete patient history including pregnancy and delivery details, breastfeeding status (if applicable), physical examination findings (including assessment for signs of infection), diagnostic tests (if any).

** Differential diagnosis should exclude conditions such as mastitis caused by infectious agents (bacterial or fungal).Appropriate treatment includes supportive measures (analgesics, warm compresses) and, in some cases, antibiotics if a secondary infection develops.
