Acquired atrophy of fallopian tube
ICD-10 N83.32 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of acquired atrophy of fallopian tube.
Acquired atrophy of the fallopian tube refers to the degeneration or wasting away of the fallopian tubes, which can occur due to various underlying conditions. This condition may be associated with endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially leading to scarring and obstruction of the fallopian tubes. Female genital prolapse can also contribute to acquired atrophy, as the structural support of the pelvic organs weakens, affecting the fallopian tubes. Additionally, fistulas, which are abnormal connections between organs, can arise from pelvic inflammatory disease or surgical complications, further complicating the anatomy and function of the fallopian tubes. Ovarian disorders, such as cysts or tumors, may also impact the fallopian tubes' health, leading to atrophy. Polyps in the female genital tract can obstruct the fallopian tubes, causing inflammation and subsequent atrophy. Accurate diagnosis and coding of this condition require a thorough understanding of the patient's medical history and associated gynecological disorders.
Detailed clinical notes on the patient's history, physical examination findings, and diagnostic imaging results.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, infertility, or abnormal uterine bleeding.
Ensure all related conditions are documented to support the diagnosis of acquired atrophy.
Comprehensive hormonal assessments and imaging studies to evaluate reproductive health.
Patients with unexplained infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss.
Focus on the impact of hormonal imbalances on fallopian tube health.
Used in conjunction with diagnosis of acquired atrophy due to endometriosis.
Operative report detailing findings and procedures performed.
Ensure alignment between surgical findings and documented diagnosis.
Common causes include endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and structural abnormalities such as fistulas or polyps.
