Prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube, unspecified side
ICD-10 N83.40 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube, unspecified side.
Prolapse and hernia of the ovary and fallopian tube refers to the abnormal displacement of these structures from their normal anatomical position. This condition can occur due to various factors, including weakened pelvic support structures, trauma, or surgical complications. In women, the prolapse of the ovary and fallopian tube can lead to significant discomfort, pain, and complications such as obstruction or strangulation of the affected structures. The unspecified side indicates that the documentation does not specify whether the left or right ovary and fallopian tube are involved. This condition may be associated with other gynecological disorders, including endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially affecting the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Additionally, pelvic organ prolapse, which involves the descent of pelvic organs due to weakened pelvic support, can coexist with this condition. Accurate diagnosis often requires imaging studies and a thorough clinical evaluation to differentiate it from other conditions such as ovarian cysts, tumors, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
Detailed clinical notes describing the patient's symptoms, physical examination findings, and imaging results.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, or a palpable mass in the pelvic region.
Ensure that the documentation specifies whether the prolapse is symptomatic and any associated conditions such as endometriosis.
Comprehensive evaluation of urinary symptoms and pelvic support structures.
Patients with urinary incontinence or obstructive urinary symptoms related to pelvic organ prolapse.
Coordination with gynecological assessments to ensure comprehensive care.
Used when a patient with a prolapse also has an ovarian cyst requiring surgical intervention.
Document the indication for surgery, including the presence of prolapse and cyst.
Ensure coordination between gynecology and surgical teams.
Document the patient's symptoms, physical examination findings, imaging results, and any associated conditions. Ensure clarity regarding the unspecified side.
