Maternal care for prolapse of gravid uterus, second trimester
ICD-10 O34.522 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for prolapse of gravid uterus, second trimester.
Maternal care for prolapse of the gravid uterus during the second trimester is a condition where the uterus descends into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic support structures. This condition can arise from various factors, including previous cesarean deliveries that may have led to uterine scarring or pelvic floor dysfunction. The second trimester is a critical period for monitoring this condition, as it can affect the pregnancy's progression and the mother's health. Care involves regular assessments, pelvic floor exercises, and possibly the use of supportive devices. Close monitoring is essential to prevent complications such as preterm labor or delivery. The management plan should be tailored to the individual, considering the severity of the prolapse, the presence of any associated symptoms, and the patient's obstetric history.
