N70-N77: Inflammatory diseases of female pelvic organs
N74: Female pelvic inflammatory disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
Female pelvic inflammatory disorders in diseases classified elsewhere is a group of conditions that mainly impact the reproductive system in women. They occur when another illness, already present in the body, causes an infection or inflammation within the female pelvic region. The pelvic region consists of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix. When these organs become inflamed, it can lead to a host of symptoms including lower abdominal pain, fever, abnormal vaginal discharge, irregular menstrual bleeding, and pain during intercourse or urination. Because each case is linked to a different underlying disease, how these conditions progress can differ widely. Regardless of the originating illness, however, these disorders can adversely affect a woman's fertility and overall health if not addressed.
