Deep dyspareunia

This code represents deep dyspareunia, which is persistent or recurrent pain experienced during or after sexual intercourse, specifically felt deep within the pelvis. This pain is not superficial and often indicates an underlying gynecological or pelvic floor issue.

Use this code when documentation clearly specifies deep dyspareunia as the patient's primary complaint or a significant symptom. Supporting documentation should differentiate it from superficial dyspareunia and may include details about the location, timing, and nature of the pain during sexual activity.

• Distinguish carefully from N94.11 (Superficial dyspareunia) based on the documented location of pain.
• Always look for and code any underlying conditions contributing to the deep dyspareunia (e.g., endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease) as primary or secondary diagnoses.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "deep dyspareunia" or provides sufficient detail to confirm the deep nature of the pain.
