Infertility, female, of tubal origin

This code signifies female infertility directly attributable to abnormalities or dysfunction of the fallopian tubes. This can include conditions such as tubal obstruction, adhesions, or damage preventing the ovum from reaching the uterus or sperm from reaching the ovum. It represents a specific etiology of female reproductive difficulty.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates that the primary cause of a female patient's inability to conceive is due to a tubal factor. This diagnosis is typically supported by findings from hysterosalpingography (HSG), laparoscopy, or other imaging/surgical procedures confirming tubal pathology.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "tubal origin" or provides specific tubal diagnoses (e.g., hydrosalpinx, tubal occlusion) as the cause of infertility.
• Do not use this code if the infertility is attributed to other female factors (e.g., ovulatory dysfunction, uterine factors) or male factors.
• Consider sequencing this code as the primary diagnosis when the patient presents specifically for evaluation or treatment of tubal factor infertility.
