Other noninflammatory disorders of uterus, except cervix
Chapter 14:Diseases of the genitourinary system
ICD-10 N85 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other noninflammatory disorders of uterus, except cervix.
N85 encompasses a variety of noninflammatory disorders affecting the uterus that do not involve the cervix. These conditions can include uterine fibroids (leiomyomas), adenomyosis, and endometrial hyperplasia, among others. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms. Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, leading to painful menstruation and enlarged uterus. Endometrial hyperplasia is characterized by the thickening of the endometrial lining, which can be a precursor to endometrial cancer. These disorders can significantly impact a woman's reproductive health and quality of life, necessitating careful diagnosis and management. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment planning and reimbursement, as these conditions may require surgical intervention or medical management.

N85 includes various noninflammatory disorders of the uterus such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and endometrial hyperplasia.
Inflammatory disorders typically involve infection or inflammation, while noninflammatory disorders like those coded under N85 do not involve these processes.
