Maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus
ICD-10 O34.53 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus.
Retroversion of the gravid uterus refers to a condition where the uterus is tilted backward instead of its normal forward position. This condition can occur during pregnancy and may lead to complications such as urinary retention, pelvic pain, and discomfort. Maternal care for retroversion involves careful monitoring and management to ensure the health of both the mother and the fetus. It is particularly important in cases where the mother has a history of pelvic organ abnormalities, previous cesarean deliveries, or uterine scarring, as these factors can complicate the pregnancy and delivery process. Healthcare providers may recommend specific exercises, positional changes, or interventions to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. Regular prenatal visits are essential for assessing the position of the uterus and addressing any arising issues promptly. The management plan should be tailored to the individual needs of the patient, considering her obstetric history and any associated risks.
