Hypertrophy of labia

This code describes an abnormal enlargement or overgrowth of the labia, which are the folds of skin surrounding the clitoris and vaginal opening. This hypertrophy can affect either the labia majora or labia minora, or both. It is a benign condition characterized by increased tissue volume.

Use this code when documentation specifies an abnormal increase in the size of the labia, without evidence of inflammation, infection, or malignancy. This diagnosis is often made during a gynecological examination or when a patient presents with symptoms related to the enlarged tissue, such as discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concerns.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "hypertrophy" and specifies the labia as the affected anatomical site.
• Do not confuse with inflammatory conditions of the vulva (e.g., vulvitis) or other specific lesions.
• If the hypertrophy is secondary to another condition, consider sequencing the underlying cause first, if applicable.
