Inversion of uterus

This code represents a non-obstetric condition where the uterine fundus collapses into the uterine cavity or protrudes through the cervix or vagina. This can be a rare, chronic complication of uterine prolapse or other conditions, distinct from acute obstetric events.

Apply this code for documented cases of non-puerperal uterine inversion. This typically involves chronic or recurrent inversion not directly associated with childbirth. Documentation should clearly indicate the inversion is not related to a recent delivery or current obstetric trauma.

• Differentiate carefully from obstetric inversion; if related to current delivery, use codes from chapter 15.
• Ensure documentation specifies the inversion is not postpartum or due to current obstetric trauma to avoid an Excludes1 conflict.
• Consider sequencing with other codes describing the underlying cause or associated complications, such as uterine prolapse.
