International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code refers to various vaginal conditions that don't fit into other specific categories and are not caused by infection or inflammation. These might include structural abnormalities, hormonal-related changes, or other non-infectious conditions affecting the vagina. The exact condition would be documented in your medical records. Since this is paired with lab tests, your doctor likely ordered specific tests to help diagnose or monitor your particular vaginal condition.
