Complete doubling of uterus

This code describes a congenital anomaly where the uterus is completely duplicated, resulting in two separate uterine bodies, cervices, and often two vaginas. This malformation arises from a complete failure of fusion of the paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts during fetal development.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a complete uterine duplication, often identified during imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) or surgical exploration. This diagnosis may be associated with reproductive challenges such as recurrent miscarriage or preterm labor.

• Differentiate from other Müllerian anomalies like uterus didelphys (which also has two uteri but may not be "complete doubling" in all contexts) or bicornuate uterus.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "complete" doubling to support this specific code.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated symptoms or reproductive outcomes if applicable.
