Female infertility of uterine origin
ICD-10 N97.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of female infertility of uterine origin.
Female infertility of uterine origin refers to the inability of a woman to conceive due to anatomical or functional abnormalities of the uterus. This condition can arise from various factors, including uterine fibroids, polyps, congenital anomalies, or scarring from previous surgeries or infections. The uterus plays a crucial role in implantation and maintaining a pregnancy, and any disruption in its structure or function can lead to infertility. Menstrual disorders, such as irregular cycles or heavy bleeding, may also be associated with uterine abnormalities, complicating the clinical picture. Additionally, menopausal disorders can impact fertility, as hormonal changes may affect uterine health. Understanding the underlying causes of uterine infertility is essential for developing effective treatment plans, which may include surgical interventions, hormonal therapies, or assisted reproductive technologies. Accurate diagnosis often requires imaging studies, such as hysterosalpingography or ultrasound, to assess uterine structure and function.
Detailed descriptions of uterine anatomy and any abnormalities found during examinations or imaging.
Patients presenting with infertility complaints, abnormal menstrual cycles, or previous uterine surgeries.
Ensure that all relevant diagnostic tests and imaging studies are documented to support the diagnosis.
Comprehensive hormonal assessments and detailed fertility evaluations.
Patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies or those with complex infertility cases.
Document all treatment plans and patient responses to therapies to justify coding.
Used to evaluate uterine abnormalities in patients with infertility.
Document findings from the hysteroscopy and any interventions performed.
Obstetricians and gynecologists should ensure that the procedure is linked to the infertility diagnosis.
Common causes include uterine fibroids, polyps, congenital anomalies, and scarring from previous surgeries or infections. Each of these conditions can disrupt normal uterine function and implantation.
