Maternal care for incarceration of gravid uterus, first trimester
ICD-10 O34.511 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for incarceration of gravid uterus, first trimester.
Incarceration of the gravid uterus refers to a condition where the uterus becomes trapped or fixed in the pelvis, often due to anatomical abnormalities or previous surgical interventions such as cesarean sections. This condition can occur in the first trimester of pregnancy and may lead to complications such as obstructed labor or fetal distress if not managed appropriately. Maternal care for this condition involves careful monitoring and may require interventions to relieve the incarceration. Factors contributing to this condition may include uterine scarring from previous surgeries, abnormalities of pelvic organs, or a history of cesarean deliveries. Early identification and management are crucial to ensure maternal and fetal well-being, and healthcare providers must document the specifics of the incarceration, including any associated symptoms and the management plan.
