Part 2 Part 2 of 2: Using Alternative Treatments
Doctors check these things when diagnosing abnormal uterine bleeding:
infusion sonohysterogram. Treat mild dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, levonorgestrel intrauterine device (IUD), or danazol. Treat moderate DUB with oral contraceptive pills, levonorgestrel IUD, danazol, or tranexamic acid.
Ulcerative colitis, unspecified with rectal bleeding
ICD-10 code N93. 8 for Other specified abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding occurs when the normal cycle of menstruation is disrupted, usually due to anovulation (failure to ovulate) that's unrelated to another illness. Ovulation failure is the most common type of DUB in adolescents and in women who are reaching perimenopause.

N93. 9 - Abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding, unspecified.
Abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding is also called menorrhagia. Other issues related to dysfunctional uterine bleeding include bleeding or spotting between periods and bleeding after sex.
FUNCTIONAL UTERINE BLEEDING may be defined as that which appears in the absence of gross lc sions, at unexpected times, or in abnormal amounts. It is presumably due to dysfunction of one or more of the hormones, ovarian or pituitary, which are concerned in the menstrual cycle.

Endometrial hyperplasia, unspecified N85. 00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N85. 00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 | Dysmenorrhea, unspecified (N94. 6)
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is also known as abnormal menstrual cycle, disorder associated with menstruation AND/OR menopause, disorder of menstruation, menstrual spotting, menstruation disorder, oligomenorrhea, perimenopausal disorder, and vaginal spotting.
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is any abnormal vaginal bleeding caused by hormone level changes. This most commonly occurs when the ovaries do not release an egg. Symptoms include bleeding that lasts for more than 7 days, hot flashes, mood swings, bleeding between periods, and heavier than normal bleeding.
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is abnormal genital tract bleeding based in the uterus and found in the absence of demonstrable structural or organic pathology.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code N93.8 and a single ICD9 code, 626.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Abnormal uterine bleeding in women of childbearing age is defined as any change in menstrual period frequency or duration, a change in amount of flow, or any bleeding between cycles. In postmenopausal women, abnormal uterine bleeding includes vaginal bleeding 12 months or more after the cessation of menstruation, or unpredictable bleeding in patients who have been receiving hormone therapy for 12 months or more. Abnormal uterine bleeding terms include oligomenorrhea (bleeding occurs at intervals of more than 35 days), polymenorrhea (bleeding occurs at intervals of less than 21 days), menorrhagia (bleeding occurs at normal intervals but with heavy flow or duration of more than 7 days), menometrorrhagia (bleeding occurs at irregular, noncyclic intervals and with heavy flow or duration more than 7 days) and metrorrhagia (irregular bleeding occurs between ovulatory cycles). Menorrhagia can be idiopathic or can be associated with underlying uterine lesions such as fibroids or polyps, pelvic pathology, anatomical abnormalities, systemic illness, hormonal imbalance or certain medications. Idiopathic menorrhagia that is not related to a specific underlying condition is called abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). All these conditions associated with menorrhagia can be referred to as abnormal uterine bleeding, although it is also possible to have some conditions such as fibroids or an anatomical abnormality with normal menses. The focus in this policy is on treatment options when the bleeding pattern is abnormal.

Hayes report concluded that, although evidence from prospective studies suggests that magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) reduces fibroid volume and symptoms in many patients, the overall quality of the evidence is low due to the lack of well-designed controlled studies. Most studies involve the same patient population studied in the pivotal trial sponsored by the manufacturer. In addition, there is no published data comparing this procedure to other uterus-sparing treatments such as myomectomy or uterine artery embolization. Additional long-term studies, particularly randomized controlled trials that compare outcomes following MRgFUS with other therapies, are needed before firm conclusions can be drawn. MRgFUS may be an appropriate treatment for certain patients who wish to avoid more definitive treatment and when performed by a surgical team that is experienced in this procedure; however, patient selection criteria have not been fully defined (Hayes, 2014).
In a practice bulletin on alternatives to hysterectomy in managing uterine fibroids, ACOG states that based on long- and short-term outcomes, uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective option for appropriately selected women who wish to reta in their uteri (ACOG, 2008; reaffirmed 2012).
