Doubling of uterus

This code signifies a congenital anomaly where the uterus is duplicated, either partially or completely. This can manifest as a uterus didelphys (two completely separate uteri, cervices, and vaginas), a bicornuate uterus (two uterine horns sharing a single cervix and vagina), or a septate uterus (a septum dividing a single uterine cavity).

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a congenital malformation involving a duplicated or abnormally divided uterus. This diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as ultrasound, MRI, or hysterosalpingography, or during surgical exploration.

• Differentiate between various types of uterine duplication (e.g., bicornuate, septate, didelphys) as more specific codes may exist in other code sets or for future reference.
• Ensure documentation specifies "congenital" to support this code, as acquired uterine abnormalities are coded differently.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated reproductive complications, such as infertility or recurrent miscarriage, if applicable.
