Acquired atrophy of right fallopian tube
ICD-10 N83.321 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of acquired atrophy of right fallopian tube.
Acquired atrophy of the right fallopian tube refers to the degeneration or wasting away of the right fallopian tube, which can occur due to various underlying conditions. This atrophy may be associated with chronic inflammatory processes, such as endometriosis, where ectopic endometrial tissue can lead to scarring and obstruction of the fallopian tubes. Additionally, conditions like female genital prolapse can contribute to altered anatomical relationships, potentially affecting the fallopian tubes. Fistulas, ovarian disorders, and polyps within the female genital tract may also play a role in the development of acquired atrophy by causing chronic irritation or obstruction. Clinically, patients may present with pelvic pain, infertility, or abnormal menstrual cycles. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, such as ultrasound or hysterosalpingography, to assess the patency and structure of the fallopian tubes. Treatment may vary based on the underlying cause and can include surgical intervention or management of associated conditions.
Detailed clinical history, imaging results, and treatment plans must be documented.
Patients presenting with infertility, chronic pelvic pain, or abnormal imaging findings.
Consideration of the patient's reproductive plans and the impact of atrophy on fertility.
Comprehensive hormonal assessments and fertility evaluations are necessary.
Patients undergoing fertility treatments or evaluations for unexplained infertility.
Documentation of any hormonal therapies or assisted reproductive technologies used.
Used when surgical intervention is required to address atrophy due to adhesions.
Operative report detailing findings and procedures performed.
Gynecological specialties must ensure accurate coding of the procedure in relation to the diagnosis.
Common causes include chronic inflammatory conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and anatomical changes due to pelvic organ prolapse.
