ICD-10 Code I86.2 – Pelvic varices (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I86.2 – Pelvic varices
What it is
I86.2 identifies dilated, tortuous veins in the pelvic venous system. Use it for documented pelvic varices, often described as pelvic venous congestion or varicose pelvic veins.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings include chronic pelvic pain, pelvic heaviness, or visible venous congestion on imaging or exam.
When to use this code
Use I86.2 when the provider documents pelvic varices or pelvic venous congestion as the diagnosis. It is appropriate when imaging, specialist assessment, or operative findings specifically identify varicose pelvic veins. If the record only mentions nonspecific pelvic pain without a venous diagnosis, do not code this.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general varicose veins of the legs or for pelvic pain without documented pelvic varices. Check documentation if the note only says venous insufficiency or congestion without a clear pelvic vein diagnosis.
Coding tip
Code I86.2 only when the record clearly ties the finding to pelvic varices, not when the wording is vague.
