Gonococcal vulvovaginitis, unspecified

This code represents an inflammation of the vulva and vagina caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, where the specific type or presentation of the vulvovaginitis is not further detailed. It indicates a bacterial infection affecting the external female genitalia and the vaginal canal.

Use this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of gonococcal vulvovaginitis, but the provider has not specified any further details about the condition. This code is appropriate when the medical record clearly states "gonococcal vulvovaginitis" without additional modifiers or specific manifestations.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the vulvovaginitis to a gonococcal infection.
• Do not use if a more specific type of gonococcal vulvovaginitis is documented (e.g., with abscess).
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated symptoms or other sexually transmitted infections if documented.
