Unspecified dyspareunia
ICD-10 N94.10 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified dyspareunia.
Unspecified dyspareunia refers to recurrent or persistent pain during sexual intercourse that cannot be attributed to a specific medical condition. This condition can significantly impact a woman's quality of life, emotional well-being, and intimate relationships. Dyspareunia can arise from various factors, including hormonal changes associated with menstrual and menopausal disorders, psychological issues, or anatomical abnormalities. In the context of menstrual disorders, conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease may contribute to dyspareunia. Menopausal changes, including decreased estrogen levels, can lead to vaginal atrophy, resulting in discomfort during intercourse. Additionally, women experiencing infertility or undergoing artificial fertilization may encounter dyspareunia due to hormonal treatments or psychological stress. Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial, as dyspareunia can be a symptom of underlying reproductive health issues that require attention. Treatment options may include hormonal therapy, counseling, or physical therapy, depending on the underlying cause.
