Acquired atrophy of ovary and fallopian tube, unspecified side
ICD-10 N83.339 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of acquired atrophy of ovary and fallopian tube, unspecified side.
Acquired atrophy of the ovary and fallopian tube refers to the degeneration or shrinkage of these reproductive organs, which can occur due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, surgical interventions, or chronic conditions. This condition may be associated with endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially leading to scarring and atrophy of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Additionally, it can be linked to female genital prolapse, where pelvic organs descend due to weakened pelvic support structures, affecting the ovaries and tubes. Fistulas, abnormal connections between organs, can also contribute to atrophy by disrupting normal blood flow and hormonal signaling. Ovarian disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian cysts, may lead to atrophy if left untreated. Polyps in the female genital tract can cause obstruction or inflammation, further complicating the health of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent complications such as infertility or chronic pelvic pain.
