R10.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of pelvic and perineal pain. The code R10.2 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

ICD-10 code: I87. 2 Venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral)
ICD-10-CM Code for Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) I87. 2.
Rationale: Since the ulcer was caused by varicose veins, the I83. 0- category is the appropriate place to begin, and I83. 018 specifies the location of the ulcer.
The difference between the two lies in the type of blood vessel that isn't working correctly. PAD affects your arteries, but CVI affects your veins.
Chronic venous hypertension occurs when there's increased pressure inside your veins. The term chronic venous hypertension is a medical term for what is more descriptively called chronic venous insufficiency.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that occurs when the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs. CVI causes blood to “pool” or collect in these veins, and this pooling is called stasis.

High pressure in the veins of the legs is called Chronic Venous Hypertension. Chronic venous hypertension may be due to venous insufficiency, a condition where the blood leaks downward due to the effect of gravity through leaky one-way valves.
Venous ulcers (also known as venous stasis ulcers or nonhealing wounds) are open wounds occurring around the ankle or lower leg. They do not heal for weeks or months, and occasionally persist longer.
Many different treatments have been used to manage the symptoms of pelvic congestion. Hysterectomy combined with oophrectomy , open surgical ligation of ovarian veins and laparoscopic vein ligation have been used in the past. The most common treatments used currently involve embolization of pelvic and ovarian veins.
Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS), also called pelvic venous incompetence (PVI), may be one of many causes of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). CPP is described as continuous or intermittent noncyclic pain, localized to the pelvic region, which lasts for six or more months.
Aetna considers gonadal vein or ovarian vein embolization for the treatment of PCS experimental and investigational when criteria are not met.
Aetna considers median sacral vein embolization experimental and investigational for the treatment of PCS because of insufficient evidence of its effectiveness.
Blood pooling in pelvic or ovarian veins may result in engorgement or thrombosis, causing pain and discomfort. Risk factors associated with PCS include congestion of veins in the lower extremities, hormonal imbalance, multiple pregnancies and polycystic ovarian disease. Symptoms of pelvic congestion syndrome include the following:
Ovarian vein embolization is a minimally invasive treatment alternative for PCS. The technique, usually performed by an interventional radiologist, involves threading a catheter, guided by fluoroscopic X-ray imaging, through the groin to the ovarian veins. If the imaging reveals a cluster of serpentine veins, tiny stainless steel coils and/or absorbable sponges, or liquids such as glue are passed through the catheter into the ovarian vein, forming a clot that subsequently blocks the accumulation of blood in the varices. Careful selection of patients and use of appropriate angiographic and technical skills by the interventional radiologist are requisite for the success of this therapeutic alternative.
An UpToDate review on "Vulvovaginal varicosities and pelvic congestion syndrome" (Johnson, 2015) states that, in patients with PCS and vulvar varices, the authors suggest treatment of ovarian vein reflux first. This generally leads to reduction in the size of vulvar varicosities. Local sclerotherapy can be performed subsequently, if needed.
