Vinal enterocele
ICD-10 N81.5 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of vinal enterocele.
Vaginal enterocele is a condition characterized by the herniation of the small intestine into the vaginal canal, typically occurring in women who have experienced pelvic floor weakening due to childbirth, aging, or other factors. This condition is often associated with other forms of pelvic organ prolapse, including cystocele (bladder prolapse) and rectocele (rectal prolapse). Patients may present with symptoms such as pelvic pressure, vaginal bulging, urinary incontinence, or difficulty with bowel movements. The diagnosis is usually made through a physical examination, where a bulge may be observed during a Valsalva maneuver. Imaging studies, such as MRI or ultrasound, may be utilized for further evaluation. Treatment options vary based on the severity of symptoms and may include pelvic floor exercises, pessary placement, or surgical intervention. Understanding the relationship between vaginal enterocele and other conditions like endometriosis, female genital prolapse, and ovarian disorders is crucial for comprehensive management and accurate coding.
