Maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus, third trimester
ICD-10 O34.533 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus, third trimester.
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, particularly in the third trimester, when the growing uterus may shift position due to increased size and weight. Maternal care for this condition involves monitoring for potential complications such as urinary retention, discomfort, and the risk of obstructed labor. It is crucial for healthcare providers to assess the patient's history, especially regarding previous cesarean deliveries or uterine scarring, as these factors can complicate the management of retroversion. Care may include physical examinations, imaging studies, and possibly interventions to alleviate symptoms. The goal is to ensure the safety of both the mother and the fetus while addressing any discomfort or complications arising from the retroverted position of the uterus.
