Female genital prolapse (N81) ICD-10-CM

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the N81 range.
Cystocele
A HERNIA-like condition in which the weakened pelvic muscles cause the URINARY BLADDER to drop from its normal position. Fallen urinary bladder is more common in females with the bladder dropping into the VAGINA and less common in males with the bladder dropping into the SCROTUM.
Rectocele
Herniation of the RECTUM into the VAGINA.
About the N81 Code Range
These conditions include prolapse of the uterus and vagina, a herniated bladder, and a rectum herniating into the vagina.
The subdivisions distinguish the structures involved. N81.0 identifies urethrocele, while N81.1 identifies cystocele, a herniated bladder, by midline, lateral, or unspecified location. Uterovaginal prolapse is separated into incomplete, complete, and unspecified forms. N81.5 identifies vaginal enterocele, and N81.6 identifies rectocele, a rectum herniating into the vagina.
N81.8 includes other forms, such as weakened pelvic tissue, pelvic muscle wasting, and cervical stump prolapse. N81.9 identifies unspecified female genital prolapse.
