Erosion and ectropion of cervix uteri (N86)

The ICD-10 code N86 is used to identify conditions involving erosion and ectropion of the cervix uteri, which are specific disorders affecting the surface of the cervix. This code covers various forms of cervical tissue damage or abnormalities.

This code helps medical professionals record and classify diagnoses such as ulcer of the cervix, trophic ulcer of uterine cervix, and ectropion of the cervix. These terms, often used interchangeably or to describe related issues, indicate damage or irritation to the cervical lining. Conditions like impairment of wound healing or antepartum hemorrhage due to cervical erosion are also encompassed by this code. Using N86 ensures proper documentation and helps distinguish these cervical disorders from other female genital conditions, supporting targeted treatment and billing. Understanding the synonyms linked to N86 aids in accurate coding when a diagnosis might be described by different medical or common terms in clinical notes or patient records.
