Congenital prolapse of urethra

This code represents a birth defect where the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body, protrudes abnormally from its normal anatomical position. This condition is present at birth and can affect both males and females, though it is more commonly observed in females.

Use this code for documented cases of congenital urethral prolapse identified at birth or later in life if the congenital origin is confirmed. Supporting documentation should clearly state the diagnosis of urethral prolapse and specify its congenital nature. This code is appropriate when the prolapse is the primary diagnosis or a significant co-morbidity.

• Differentiate from acquired urethral prolapse, which would be coded differently.
• Ensure documentation specifies "congenital" to support this code.
• Consider additional codes for any associated urinary tract anomalies or complications.
