Atrophy of vulva

This code describes the thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vulvar tissues due to decreased estrogen levels. It is a common manifestation of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), leading to symptoms such as itching, burning, and dyspareunia.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "atrophy of vulva" or "vulvar atrophy," often in the context of postmenopausal changes or estrogen deficiency. It is appropriate for conditions like atrophic vulvovaginitis when the vulvar component is specifically addressed.

• Differentiate from vaginal atrophy (N95.2), though they often co-occur.
• Consider an additional code for associated symptoms like dyspareunia (N94.1) or pruritus vulvae (N76.81).
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the vulva as the affected site, not just general genitourinary atrophy.
