Other injury of ovary, bilateral, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect complication resulting from a previous injury to both ovaries. This could include chronic pain, adhesions, or functional impairment that persists after the initial acute injury has resolved.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms directly attributable to a past traumatic event affecting both ovaries. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the residual effects of such injuries, rather than the initial acute injury itself.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the sequela itself, if applicable.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous bilateral ovarian injury.
• Do not use for acute injuries; instead, refer to the acute injury codes within the S37.4 category.
