Hypoplasia of uterus
ICD-10 Q51.811 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of hypoplasia of uterus.
Hypoplasia of the uterus is a congenital condition characterized by an underdeveloped uterus, which can lead to various reproductive issues. This condition may be associated with other congenital malformations of the genital organs, such as Müllerian duct anomalies, which can affect the structure and function of the reproductive system. In females with uterine hypoplasia, the uterus may be smaller than normal, which can impact menstruation, fertility, and the ability to carry a pregnancy to term. The condition can be diagnosed through imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and it may be part of a broader spectrum of disorders affecting the reproductive tract. It is essential for healthcare providers to assess for associated anomalies, including renal and skeletal abnormalities, as these can occur in conjunction with uterine hypoplasia. Management may involve a multidisciplinary approach, including gynecological evaluation and potential reproductive assistance, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's reproductive goals.
Detailed history of the patient's congenital conditions, growth and development assessments, and any associated anomalies.
Evaluation of a newborn with ambiguous genitalia or a child presenting with delayed puberty.
Consideration of psychosocial factors and family history of congenital conditions.
Genetic testing results, family history of congenital anomalies, and any syndromic associations.
Genetic counseling for families with a history of uterine malformations or related syndromes.
Understanding the genetic basis of congenital malformations and their implications for family planning.
Used to evaluate uterine structure in patients with suspected congenital anomalies.
Document indications for the procedure and findings.
Considerations for pediatric patients may differ from adult populations.
Uterine hypoplasia refers to an underdeveloped uterus, while agenesis indicates the complete absence of the uterus. Accurate coding requires careful documentation of the condition's specifics.
