Acquired atrophy of left ovary and fallopian tube
ICD-10 N83.332 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of acquired atrophy of left ovary and fallopian tube.
Acquired atrophy of the left ovary and fallopian tube refers to the degeneration or shrinkage of these reproductive structures, which can occur due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammatory conditions, or surgical interventions. This condition may be associated with endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially leading to scarring and damage to the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Additionally, it can be linked to female genital prolapse, where pelvic organs descend due to weakened pelvic support structures, possibly affecting ovarian function. Fistulas, abnormal connections between organs, may also arise from chronic pelvic conditions, further complicating the anatomy and function of the reproductive system. Ovarian disorders, including cysts or tumors, can contribute to atrophy by disrupting normal hormonal signaling. Polyps in the female genital tract, while primarily affecting the uterine lining, can also indicate underlying hormonal dysregulation that may impact ovarian health. Understanding the interplay between these conditions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
Detailed history of menstrual cycles, surgical history, and any previous diagnoses of endometriosis or ovarian disorders.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, infertility, or abnormal imaging findings related to the ovaries.
Ensure that all relevant imaging studies and lab results are included in the documentation to support the diagnosis.
Hormonal assay results, detailed reproductive history, and any treatments administered.
Patients undergoing evaluation for infertility or hormonal imbalances.
Documenting the impact of hormonal therapies on ovarian function is critical for accurate coding.
Used in conjunction with diagnosis of endometriosis leading to atrophy.
Operative report detailing the procedure and findings.
Gynecologists should ensure that the diagnosis of endometriosis is well-documented to support the procedure.
Common causes include hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammatory conditions such as endometriosis, surgical interventions, and certain medications that affect ovarian function.
