Erosion and ectropion of cervix

This code represents a non-neoplastic condition of the cervix characterized by the displacement of columnar endocervical epithelium onto the ectocervix (ectropion) and/or superficial loss of epithelial tissue (erosion). These are often benign findings, sometimes associated with inflammation or hormonal changes.

Use this code when documentation specifies cervical erosion, cervical ectropion, or eversion of the cervix. This is commonly identified during routine gynecological examinations, colposcopy, or when a patient presents with symptoms such as post-coital bleeding or increased vaginal discharge.

• Do not use this code for cervical dysplasia or other precancerous lesions; those have specific codes.
• Ensure the documentation clearly distinguishes erosion/ectropion from ulceration or other more severe cervical pathologies.
• Consider sequencing this code after any underlying cause, such as cervicitis, if applicable and documented.
