Prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube
ICD-10 N83.4 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube.
Prolapse and hernia of the ovary and fallopian tube refer to conditions where these reproductive organs descend from their normal anatomical position, potentially leading to complications such as pain, discomfort, and impaired reproductive function. This condition can be associated with various factors, including pelvic floor weakness, previous surgeries, or chronic conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure. In women with endometriosis, the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue can contribute to adhesions and distortions of the pelvic anatomy, further complicating the clinical picture. Female genital prolapse may coexist with hernias, leading to a multifaceted clinical scenario requiring careful evaluation. Additionally, fistulas may develop as a complication of prolonged pressure or injury to the pelvic structures. Ovarian disorders, such as cysts or tumors, can also be present, complicating the diagnosis and management of prolapse and hernia. Polyps in the female genital tract may be incidental findings during evaluation for prolapse and should be documented appropriately. Accurate coding requires a thorough understanding of these interrelated conditions and their implications for patient management.
Detailed descriptions of pelvic examinations, imaging studies, and surgical findings.
Evaluation of pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility assessments.

Management of urinary incontinence associated with pelvic organ prolapse.
Coordination with gynecological assessments for comprehensive care.
Used when surgical intervention is required for prolapse or hernia.
Operative report detailing the procedure and findings.
Obstetrics and Gynecology specialists should ensure comprehensive documentation of the surgical approach.
Common symptoms include pelvic pain, a sensation of pressure in the pelvic area, urinary incontinence, and changes in menstrual patterns. Some patients may also experience discomfort during intercourse.
