    ICD-10-CM Code For Female Genital Prolapse: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group N81 includes conditions describing prolapse of female pelvic organs such as uterine prolapse, cystocele, rectocele, and vaginal vault prolapse, specifying degree and anatomic site. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios involving pelvic organ descent, pelvic floor dysfunction, and complications related to support structure defects, capturing disease severity and anatomic involvement. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM N81 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM N81: Female Genital Prolapse Overview

    This group captures diagnoses for prolapse of the female genital organs, including uterine, vaginal, and anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse. These noninflammatory disorders affect pelvic support structures and the pelvic floor. Accurate coding matters because it reflects severity and anatomic site, which informs clinical documentation and reimbursement.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A 68-year-old woman presents to her primary care clinician with a several-year history of a vaginal bulge and a sensation of pelvic pressure that worsens with standing and improves when she lies down. She reports difficulty initiating urination and occasional urinary leakage with coughing. On pelvic exam there is descent of the anterior vaginal wall consistent with cystocele; a diagnosis from this group is assigned to describe the anterior compartment prolapse. Typical codes: N81.1, N81.10, N81.11
    • A 42-year-old woman in the postpartum period comes to the emergency department after a difficult vaginal delivery with forceps, complaining of a new bulge at the introitus and urinary retention. Examination shows full-thickness eversion of the vaginal apex/prolapsed uterus requiring urgent gynecologic evaluation; a code from this group is used to capture uterovaginal prolapse as the acute complication of childbirth. Typical codes: N81.2, N81.3
    • A 75-year-old woman with a history of prior hysterectomy presents to the clinic with progressive vaginal fullness and difficulty with intercourse; pelvic exam demonstrates descent of the vaginal cuff consistent with posthysterectomy prolapse. The chronic anatomic change following surgical removal of the uterus is coded from this group to document the postoperative prolapse and guide further management. Typical codes: N81.4, N81.9
