O08: Complications following abortion and ectopic and molar pregnancy
O08.6: Damage to pelvic organs and tissues following abortion and ectopic and molar pregnancy
This type of premature end to pregnancy may involve a miscarriage or a hydatidiform mole (molar pregnancy), for example. A hydatidiform mole is when a child fails to form a fertilized egg cell, and a benign tumor develops instead. It may also be a case of a pregnancy that failed to develop in the normal area inside the womb.
