Polyp of vagina

This code signifies the presence of a benign, often pedunculated or sessile, growth originating from the vaginal mucosa. These polyps are typically asymptomatic but can cause bleeding, discharge, or discomfort. Histological examination is often required to confirm benignity.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of a vaginal polyp. This includes findings from gynecological examinations, colposcopy, or biopsy reports confirming a polypoid lesion within the vagina. It is appropriate for both initial diagnosis and follow-up encounters.

• Do not confuse with cervical polyps (N84.1) or vulvar polyps (N84.3).
• Code any associated symptoms, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding (N93.9) or discharge (N89.8), as secondary diagnoses.
• Ensure documentation specifies the location as vaginal; otherwise, query the provider.
