Abrasion of vagina and vulva, sequela

This code signifies a superficial injury to the external female genitalia (vulva) and/or the birth canal (vagina) that has resulted in a long-term complication or residual effect. This could include scarring, chronic pain, or functional impairment directly attributable to a previous abrasion.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of an abrasion to the vagina or vulva that occurred in the past. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the lasting impact of such an injury.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to specify the circumstances of the original injury, if known.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to the previous abrasion of the vagina/vulva.
• Do not use for acute abrasions; this code is specifically for the late effects or complications.
