Burn of vagina and uterus

This code signifies thermal injury to the internal female reproductive organs, specifically the vagina and/or uterus. This type of burn can result from various sources, leading to tissue damage and potential complications affecting reproductive health.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a burn affecting the vaginal canal, cervix, or uterine body. This typically occurs due to chemical exposure, electrical injury, or thermal contact within these structures. Supporting documentation should detail the location and extent of the burn.

• Always code the external cause of the burn (E-code) in addition to the burn itself.
• Distinguish between burns of the internal genitalia and external genitalia (vulva, labia), which are coded elsewhere.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "burn" and not another type of injury or inflammation to the vagina/uterus.
