Stricture and stenosis of cervix uteri

This code represents a narrowing or abnormal constriction of the cervical canal, which can be congenital or acquired. This condition can impede menstrual flow, interfere with fertility, or complicate gynecological procedures.

Use this code when documentation specifies a non-obstetric stricture or stenosis of the cervix uteri. This applies to conditions such as cervical os narrowing due to scarring from previous surgery, infection, or atrophy.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "stricture" or "stenosis" of the cervix.
• Do not use this code if the cervical stricture or stenosis is noted as a complication during labor; refer to the Excludes1 note.
• Consider additional codes for underlying causes or associated symptoms, such as dysmenorrhea or infertility, if documented.
