What Pelvic Organ Prolapse ICD-10 codes can I use?

If you’re looking for Pelvic Organ Prolapse ICD codes, please note there are no ICD-10 codes that mention pelvic organ prolapse in their names. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any, though! They are labeled as female genital prolapse or the specific names of the pelvic organ prolapse, so you’ll have to adjust your search terms.

The basic code you’re looking for is N81.9 - Female genital prolapse, unspecified. This is meant to be used on female patients confirmed to have genital prolapse, but the specific kind of prolapse isn’t known or identified. Once you’ve identified the specific kind of prolapse, please use any of the following:

N81.0 - Urethrocele
N81.10 - Cystocele, unspecified (N81.11 if midline cystocele, N81.12 if lateral cystocele)
N81.4 - Uterovaginal prolapse, unspecified (N81.2 if incomplete, N81.3 if complete)
N81.5 - Vaginal enterocele
N81.6 - Rectocele
N81.81 - Perineocele
N81.85 - Cervical stump prolapse

If your female patient’s specific pelvic organ prolapse doesn’t have a specific ICD-10 code, please use N81.89 - Other female genital prolapse. This ICD-10 code is meant to be used for cases of pelvic organ prolapse types that don’t have specific ICD-10 codes.

Clinical Information About Pelvic Organ Prolapse:

A pelvic organ prolapse is a condition characterized by the protrusion of pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum into the vaginal wall. This can happen if the pelvic floor’s muscles and tissues are weakened, stretched, or damaged.

These muscles and tissues can become weakened, stretched, or damaged due to varying factors, including the following:

Changes in hormones, specifically a dip in estrogen levels, especially during menopause
Getting older because the weakening of our bodies can come with age
Vaginal childbirth because giving birth this way can weaken the pelvic floor
Being obese because weight can exert pressure on pelvic organs
Chronic constipation because it can put stress on the pelvic floor

Commonly asked questions

What are the symptoms of having pelvic organ prolapse?

Female patients should look out for the following symptoms and signs to determine if they possibly have a pelvic organ prolapse:

If there is a noticeable bulge or protrusion in their vaginal opening
If they feel pain, pressure, discomfort, or fullness in their pelvic area
If they have incontinence or trouble emptying their bladder
If they feel pain while having sexual intercourse

How do healthcare professionals detect/diagnose pelvic organ prolapse?

They will conduct pelvic exams. These are often enough to diagnose pelvic organ prolapse, but they will sometimes conduct bladder function tests and imaging tests to confirm the extent of the prolapse.

How are pelvic organ prolapses treated?

Conservative treatment includes maintaining a healthy weight, having a diet that combats constipation, avoiding exercises or activities that require heavy lifting, practicing Kegel exercises, and using pessaries.

For severe cases, surgery might be the best option to correct the prolapse.
