Contusion of ovary, bilateral, sequela

This code indicates a bruise or injury to both ovaries that occurred in the past, and the patient is now presenting with a residual effect or complication from that previous injury. It signifies that the initial trauma to the ovaries has resolved, but its long-term consequences are still being managed.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current symptoms, conditions, or complications that are directly attributable to a previously sustained bilateral ovarian contusion. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the sequelae of the original injury are the focus of care, such as chronic pain, adhesions, or fertility issues stemming from the contusion.

• Requires a seventh character of 'S' to denote sequela, indicating a late effect.
• Do not use for initial or subsequent active treatment of the acute contusion; those would use 'A' or 'D' seventh characters.
• Always code the specific sequelae (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, infertility) in addition to this code to fully describe the patient's condition.
