Gynecologist or other qualified healthcare professional specializing in female reproductive health.

IMPORTANT N89.8 (Other specified noninflammatory disorders of vagina) may be used for more specific diagnoses if applicable.Consider also codes for specific conditions excluded from N89 if appropriate, such as those related to inflammation, neoplasms or congenital abnormalities.

In simple words: This code describes problems with the vagina that aren't caused by inflammation or serious conditions like cancer.It covers a range of issues that need a doctor's examination for a proper diagnosis.

This code encompasses various noninflammatory conditions affecting the vagina that do not fit into other specified categories within the ICD-10-CM classification.It excludes inflammatory conditions, malignancies, and congenital anomalies.Accurate diagnosis requires detailed clinical evaluation and potentially further investigations.

Example 1: A 35-year-old female patient presents with vaginal dryness and discomfort, without any signs of infection.After thorough examination and exclusion of other conditions, N89 is assigned., A 60-year-old postmenopausal woman reports vaginal atrophy and bleeding.After ruling out malignancy and infection, N89 might be assigned if no specific non-inflammatory condition is identified., A 28-year-old patient experiences recurrent vaginal pain unrelated to menstruation or sexual activity.Investigations reveal no specific cause, and N89 is used pending further evaluations.

Complete history and physical examination, including details of presenting symptoms.Relevant laboratory tests (e.g., vaginal cultures, Pap smear) to exclude infection and malignancy.Documentation of any other diagnostic procedures performed.
