Other ovarian hyperfunction

This code represents conditions characterized by excessive hormone production by the ovaries, excluding specific syndromes like Stein-Leventhal (PCOS). It encompasses various forms of ovarian overactivity leading to hormonal imbalances. This hyperfunction can manifest in symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, or infertility.

Use this code when documentation indicates ovarian hyperfunction not otherwise specified or attributed to polycystic ovarian syndrome. This includes cases of functional ovarian cysts producing excess hormones or other idiopathic causes of ovarian overactivity. Documentation should clearly state "ovarian hyperfunction" or describe symptoms directly attributable to excessive ovarian hormone secretion.

• Do not use this code for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS); a more specific code exists for that condition.
• Consider sequencing this code after a more definitive diagnosis if the ovarian hyperfunction is secondary to another underlying condition.
• Ensure documentation specifies "other" or "unspecified" if the exact cause of hyperfunction is unknown, to support the use of this residual category.
