Acquired atrophy of right ovary
ICD-10 N83.311 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of acquired atrophy of right ovary.
Acquired atrophy of the right ovary refers to the degeneration and reduction in size of the right ovary due to various underlying conditions. This condition can arise from hormonal imbalances, surgical interventions, or chronic diseases affecting ovarian function. In women with endometriosis, for instance, the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus can lead to inflammation and scarring, potentially resulting in ovarian atrophy. Additionally, conditions such as female genital prolapse can contribute to altered blood flow and hormonal changes, further impacting ovarian health. Fistulas, particularly those involving the reproductive tract, may also lead to complications that affect ovarian function. Ovarian disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian cysts, can also play a role in the development of acquired atrophy. Accurate diagnosis often requires imaging studies and hormonal assessments to determine the underlying cause and to differentiate it from other ovarian pathologies.
Detailed clinical notes including history, physical examination findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Evaluation of ovarian function in patients with endometriosis, assessment of ovarian size and function post-surgery.
Ensure clear documentation of any surgical history or hormonal treatments that may contribute to ovarian atrophy.
Hormonal assay results, detailed menstrual history, and any fertility treatments undertaken.
Management of patients with hormonal imbalances affecting ovarian function.
Document any relevant endocrine evaluations and their implications on ovarian health.
Used in cases where endometriosis is contributing to ovarian atrophy.
Operative reports detailing the procedure and findings.
Ensure that the surgical history is clearly linked to the diagnosis of acquired atrophy.
Common causes include hormonal imbalances, surgical interventions, chronic inflammatory conditions like endometriosis, and certain ovarian disorders.
