Acquired atrophy of ovary and fallopian tube

This code signifies the pathological reduction in size and function of the ovary and/or fallopian tube that develops after birth. It indicates a non-congenital wasting or degeneration of these female reproductive organs, often leading to impaired fertility or hormonal imbalances.

Apply this code when documentation specifies acquired atrophy of the ovary, fallopian tube, or both, as a primary diagnosis or a significant co-morbidity. This is typically supported by imaging studies, surgical findings, or clinical assessment indicating diminished organ size and function not present at birth.

• Differentiate from congenital anomalies; this code is strictly for acquired conditions.
• Specify the underlying cause of atrophy if known and documented (e.g., post-menopausal, post-surgical, radiation-induced) with an additional code.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "atrophy" and specifies "ovary" and/or "fallopian tube" to support code assignment.
