Prolapse and hernia of left ovary and fallopian tube
ICD-10 N83.42 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of prolapse and hernia of left ovary and fallopian tube.
Prolapse and hernia of the left ovary and fallopian tube refers to a condition where the left ovary and fallopian tube descend from their normal anatomical position, potentially leading to complications such as pain, discomfort, and impaired reproductive function. This condition can occur due to various factors, including pelvic floor weakness, previous surgeries, or childbirth trauma. In some cases, it may be associated with endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and adhesions that can contribute to the displacement of the ovary and fallopian tube. Female genital prolapse can also be a contributing factor, as weakened pelvic support structures may allow for the descent of reproductive organs. Additionally, the presence of fistulas, ovarian disorders, or polyps in the female genital tract can complicate the clinical picture, necessitating thorough evaluation and management. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, imaging studies, and possibly laparoscopy to assess the extent of the prolapse and any associated conditions.

Ensure that all associated conditions are documented to support the complexity of the case.
Documentation of any urinary symptoms or complications related to pelvic organ prolapse.
Patients with urinary incontinence or pelvic pain that may be related to ovarian or fallopian tube issues.
Collaboration with gynecology for comprehensive management of pelvic organ prolapse.
Used when surgical intervention is required for the prolapse.
Operative report detailing the procedure and findings.
Gynecological specialists should ensure accurate coding of the procedure.
Common symptoms include pelvic pain, discomfort during intercourse, urinary incontinence, and abnormal bleeding. Patients may also experience a sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region.
