N83202 - A fluid-filled sac (cyst) found on the left ovary, type not yet determined
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code indicates that an ultrasound or other imaging has detected a cyst on your left ovary, but the specific type of cyst hasn't been determined yet. Ovarian cysts are very common fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or in the ovaries. Many are harmless and may go away on their own, while others may need monitoring or treatment. The 'unspecified' part means your doctor needs more information or time to determine exactly what kind of cyst it is. This could be a simple functional cyst (related to your normal menstrual cycle) or another type that requires different care. Your healthcare provider will likely recommend follow-up to monitor the cyst or additional tests to better characterize it.
Additional Information
Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve without treatment. However, follow-up care is important to ensure the cyst doesn't grow larger or cause complications. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe pelvic pain, fever, or heavy bleeding.
