Extrn constrict of unsp extrn gntl organs, female, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications resulting from an external constriction injury to the female external genitalia. This could include issues like scarring, altered sensation, chronic pain, or functional impairment that developed after the initial injury has healed. The specific external genital organ affected is not specified.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current sequela (late effect) of a past external constriction injury to the female external genitalia. This is appropriate when the initial injury has resolved, but residual problems persist. Examples include chronic pain or functional limitations due to scarring from a past constriction.

• Requires a seventh character "S" to indicate sequela, meaning the initial injury has healed but residual effects remain.
• Do not use for acute or initial constriction injuries; those require an "A" or "D" seventh character.
• Always code the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar) in addition to this code, if known.
