N81. 4 - Uterovaginal prolapse, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Vaginal prolapse, also known as vaginal vault prolapse, occurs when the top of the vagina weakens and collapses into the vaginal canal. In more serious cases of vaginal prolapse, the top of the vagina may bulge outside the vaginal opening.
When the uterus sags downward, it is called uterine prolapse. When the bladder sags, it is called bladder prolapse, also known as a cystocele.
When the muscles and ligaments supporting a woman's pelvic organs weaken, the pelvic organs can drop lower in the pelvis, creating a bulge in the vagina (prolapse). Women most commonly develop pelvic organ prolapse years after childbirth, after a hysterectomy or after menopause.
Bear down firmly (pelvic floor relaxed) for 6-8 seconds, looking for any movement down to/out of the vaginal walls. When the cervix or a vaginal wall protrudes like a golf or tennis ball shape, this is a significant prolapse.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP): Dropping of the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus and rectum, caused by a loss of vaginal support. Cystocele or urethrocele (anterior vaginal wall prolapse): Front wall of the vagina sags downward or outward, allowing the bladder to drop from its normal position.
ICD-10-CM Code for Cystocele, unspecified N81. 10.
Definition. The pelvic organs are held in place by muscles and tissues that can sometimes weaken and stretch. A cystocele is when the bladder and vaginal wall fall into the vaginal opening. A rectocele is when the rectum bulges into the front of the vagina.
A sacrocolpopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition that is caused by a weakening of the normal support of the pelvic floor, and is similar to a hernia in the vagina.
Vaginal cuff dehiscence is an uncommon but potentially morbid complication after hysterectomy. It is defined as separation of a vaginal cuff that was previously closed.
Procidentia is the severe stage of pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse is usually a non-life-threatening condition with the most common symptom described as a bulge-like sensation protruding from the vaginal vault.
Apical prolapse refers to the downward displacement of the vaginal apex (figure 1). The vaginal apex is either the uterus and cervix or, in women who have undergone subtotal or total hysterectomy, the cervix or vaginal cuff.
The ICD code N81 is used to code Female genital prolapse. Female genital prolapse (or vaginal prolapse or pelvic organ prolapse) is characterized by a portion of the vaginal canal protruding (prolapsing) from the opening of the vagina.
Type-1 Excludes. Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here.". Genital prolapse complicating pregnancy, labor or delivery - instead, use code O34.5-. Prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube - instead, use code N83.4.
