Female infertility of tubal origin

This code signifies a woman's inability to conceive due to structural or functional issues within the fallopian tubes. These issues can include blockages, adhesions, or damage preventing the egg from traveling to the uterus or sperm from reaching the egg. It represents a specific etiology of female infertility.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates infertility is attributed to tubal factors, such as hydrosalpinx, tubal occlusion, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) sequelae affecting the tubes. This code is appropriate when diagnostic testing, like hysterosalpingography (HSG) or laparoscopy, confirms tubal pathology as the primary cause of infertility.

• Always sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when tubal factor is the definitive cause of infertility.
• Do not use this code if infertility is due to other factors (e.g., ovulatory dysfunction, uterine factors) or if the cause is unknown.
• Ensure documentation specifies the tubal pathology (e.g., bilateral tubal occlusion, right hydrosalpinx) to support the diagnosis.
