Maternal care for abnormality of vagina, third trimester
ICD-10 O34.63 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for abnormality of vagina, third trimester.
O34.63 refers to maternal care for abnormalities of the vagina during the third trimester of pregnancy. This code is used when a pregnant woman presents with structural or functional abnormalities of the vagina that may impact her pregnancy or delivery. Such abnormalities can include congenital malformations, acquired conditions such as vaginal scarring from previous surgeries, or abnormalities related to pelvic organ dysfunction. These conditions may necessitate specialized care and monitoring to ensure the health of both the mother and the fetus. The presence of a previous cesarean section or uterine scarring can complicate the management of these abnormalities, as they may influence the mode of delivery and the risk of complications during childbirth. Careful assessment and documentation of the vaginal condition, along with any associated risks, are essential for appropriate coding and management.
Detailed documentation of the vaginal abnormality, previous obstetric history, and any interventions performed.
Management of a patient with vaginal scarring from a previous surgery presenting for prenatal care.
Consideration of how the vaginal abnormality may affect delivery options and maternal-fetal health.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors associated with the vaginal abnormality and its implications for pregnancy.
Monitoring a high-risk pregnancy with a history of uterine scarring and vaginal abnormalities.
Focus on the potential for complications during labor and delivery, requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
Used for comprehensive obstetric care of a patient with vaginal abnormalities.
Complete documentation of all prenatal visits, delivery details, and postpartum follow-up.
