Infertility, female, of uterine origin

This code signifies female infertility directly attributable to structural or functional abnormalities of the uterus. This includes conditions such as uterine fibroids, Asherman's syndrome, congenital uterine anomalies (e.g., septate or bicornuate uterus), or endometrial pathologies that impede conception or implantation.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates that the primary cause of a female patient's inability to conceive is due to a uterine factor. Supporting documentation would include diagnostic imaging (e.g., hysteroscopy, sonohysterography, MRI) revealing uterine abnormalities, or surgical findings confirming uterine pathology.

• Ensure documentation specifies the uterine origin of infertility; do not use for unspecified female infertility or infertility due to other causes (e.g., ovarian, tubal).
• Code any underlying specific uterine condition (e.g., leiomyoma, Asherman's syndrome) as a primary diagnosis, with this code as a secondary diagnosis to specify the infertility component.
• Avoid using this code if the infertility is secondary to a systemic disease unless the uterine involvement is explicitly documented as the direct cause.
