Injury of unspecified uterine vein, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect resulting from a past injury to an unspecified uterine vein. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to that original trauma.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a previous injury to an unspecified uterine vein, and the acute phase of the original injury has passed. This would apply, for example, to chronic pelvic pain or venous insufficiency stemming from a prior uterine vein injury.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, venous insufficiency).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous uterine vein injury.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; refer to the appropriate acute injury code for initial encounters.
