Maternal care for prolapse of gravid uterus, unspecified trimester
ICD-10 O34.529 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for prolapse of gravid uterus, unspecified trimester.
Maternal care for prolapse of the gravid uterus refers to the management and monitoring of a condition where the uterus descends into the vaginal canal during pregnancy. This condition can arise due to various factors, including weakened pelvic support structures, previous cesarean deliveries, or uterine scarring from prior surgeries. The prolapse may lead to complications such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pressure, and discomfort. Care for this condition typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including obstetricians and physical therapists specializing in pelvic floor rehabilitation. The unspecified trimester designation indicates that the condition can occur at any stage of pregnancy, necessitating careful assessment and tailored management strategies to ensure maternal and fetal well-being.
