Unspecified dyspareunia

This code represents painful sexual intercourse of an unspecified nature. It indicates that a patient experiences discomfort or pain during coitus, but the specific type or cause of the dyspareunia has not been determined or documented.

Use this code when the medical record clearly states dyspareunia without further specification of its type (e.g., superficial, deep, primary, secondary). This code is appropriate when the provider has not yet identified the underlying etiology or specific characteristics of the pain.

• Avoid using this code if the documentation specifies the type of dyspareunia (e.g., N94.11 for superficial, N94.12 for deep).
• Always seek clarification from the provider if the documentation is vague but suggests a more specific type of dyspareunia.
• Consider sequencing this code after any underlying conditions contributing to the dyspareunia, if known and documented.
