Vaginal hematoma

This code represents a collection of blood within the tissues of the vagina, typically resulting from trauma, childbirth, or surgical procedures. It can manifest as a painful, swollen mass in the vaginal wall or surrounding perineal area.

Use this code for documented cases of vaginal hematoma, whether spontaneous, post-traumatic, or iatrogenic. Documentation should clearly indicate the presence and location of the hematoma within the vagina.

• Differentiate from vulvar hematoma (624.8) or hematoma of the perineum (922.4).
• Consider an external cause code (E-code) if the hematoma is due to an injury or external trauma.
• Sequence as a primary diagnosis when the hematoma is the main reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it's a complication of another condition or procedure.
