Intrauterine synechiae

This code represents the presence of adhesions or scar tissue within the uterine cavity, often referred to as Asherman's syndrome. These synechiae can partially or completely obliterate the uterine cavity, leading to various reproductive and gynecological issues.

Use this code when documentation confirms the diagnosis of intrauterine adhesions, typically identified through hysteroscopy, hysterosalpingography (HSG), or ultrasound. It is appropriate for patients presenting with symptoms such as amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, infertility, or recurrent pregnancy loss attributed to these adhesions.

• Differentiate from congenital uterine anomalies, which are coded separately.
• Consider an additional code for associated infertility (e.g., 628.2) if documented.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states "intrauterine synechiae" or "Asherman's syndrome" for accurate coding.
