Chronic inversion of uterus

This code represents a persistent, long-standing condition where the uterine fundus is turned inside out, prolapsing through the cervix and potentially into the vagina. This is a rare and serious complication, typically occurring postpartum, but can also be non-puerperal.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a chronic or persistent inversion of the uterus. This diagnosis is typically supported by physical examination findings, imaging studies, and a history indicating the inversion has been present for an extended period, not an acute event.

• Differentiate from acute inversion; this code specifically denotes a chronic state.
• Ensure documentation specifies "chronic" or "long-standing" to support this diagnosis.
• Consider any associated complications, such as infection or necrosis, which would require additional coding.
