Maternal care for abnormality of vagina, unspecified trimester
ICD-10 O34.60 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for abnormality of vagina, unspecified trimester.
O34.60 refers to maternal care for abnormalities of the vagina that are not specified by trimester. This code encompasses a range of conditions affecting the vagina, which may include congenital anomalies, acquired conditions, or abnormalities resulting from previous surgical interventions such as cesarean sections. These abnormalities can impact pregnancy outcomes and may necessitate specialized care or monitoring. For instance, women with a history of uterine scarring or previous cesarean deliveries may experience complications such as uterine rupture or abnormal placentation. Proper management of these conditions is crucial to ensure maternal and fetal safety throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Care providers must assess the nature of the vaginal abnormality, its implications for the pregnancy, and any necessary interventions to mitigate risks associated with childbirth.
