N82: Fistulae involving female genital tract
N82.8: Other female genital tract fistulae
Other female genital tract fistulae (ICD-10 code N82.8) refers to abnormal connections, or fistulae, that form between various parts of the female genital tract and other organs within the body. This typically occurs as a result of injury, surgery, infection, inflammation, or complications during childbirth. Depending upon where the fistulae form, it may lead to a variety of unpleasant and sometimes serious symptoms. Some common symptoms include urinary or fecal incontinence, abnormal discharge, irritation, infection, or pain. These symptoms can significantly impair a woman's quality of life both physically and psychologically. Furthermore, if left untreated, the condition may result in ongoing infections and other health problems.
