Acquired atrophy of ovary, unspecified side

This code signifies a reduction in the size and function of an ovary due to non-congenital causes, where the specific side affected is not documented. It indicates a degenerative process leading to the diminished capacity of the ovarian tissue.

Use this code when documentation clearly states "acquired atrophy of ovary" without specifying laterality (left or right). This diagnosis is often made based on imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound) or surgical findings.

• Always seek clarification from the provider if laterality is not documented, as more specific codes exist (N83.311, N83.312).
• Do not confuse with congenital absence or hypoplasia of the ovary (Q50.0X).
• Code any underlying cause of the atrophy (e.g., post-menopausal state, radiation effects) as an additional diagnosis, if known.
