Maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus, first trimester
ICD-10 O34.531 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus, first trimester.
Retroversion of the gravid uterus refers to a condition where the uterus is tilted backward instead of its normal forward position. This condition can occur during the first trimester of pregnancy and may be associated with discomfort or complications in some cases. Maternal care for this condition involves monitoring the pregnancy closely, especially in women with a history of pelvic organ abnormalities, previous cesarean deliveries, or uterine scarring. These factors can increase the risk of complications such as uterine rupture or abnormal fetal positioning. Care providers may recommend pelvic rest and regular follow-ups to assess the position of the uterus and fetal development. In some cases, physical therapy or specific exercises may be suggested to help alleviate discomfort. It is crucial for healthcare providers to document any associated symptoms, previous obstetric history, and the management plan to ensure comprehensive care and accurate coding.
