Personal history of vaginal dysplasia

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of abnormal cell growth in the vagina, which is not currently present. This condition, often detected during a Pap test or colposcopy, signifies a previous diagnosis of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) or other dysplastic changes. It is a precursor to vaginal cancer, and its history necessitates ongoing surveillance.

Use this code when documenting a patient's history of vaginal dysplasia, even if the condition has been successfully treated or is currently in remission. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, surveillance appointments, or when a patient presents for other gynecological concerns and their history of vaginal dysplasia is relevant to their overall care. Do not use this code for active, current vaginal dysplasia.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, as it represents a historical condition.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "history of" or "previous" vaginal dysplasia to support code assignment.
• Do not use this code if the patient has a current, active diagnosis of vaginal dysplasia; instead, use the appropriate code from category N89.0-N89.9.
