Cystocele, unspecified

This code describes a prolapse of the urinary bladder into the vagina, where the specific degree or type of cystocele is not documented. It represents a general diagnosis of bladder descent without further clinical detail regarding its severity or specific characteristics.

Use this code when documentation indicates a cystocele but lacks specific information about its grade (e.g., grade 1, 2, 3) or whether it is complete or incomplete. This code is appropriate when the provider simply states "cystocele" without further elaboration.

• Avoid using this code if the documentation specifies the grade of the cystocele; instead, use a more specific code from the N81.1- series.
• Query the provider for more specific documentation if only "cystocele" is noted, to allow for more precise coding.
• This code is often used as a primary diagnosis when the cystocele is the main reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis when it is an associated condition.
