Vulval varices. I86.3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM I86.3 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I86.3 - other international versions of ICD-10 I86.3 may differ. I86.3 is applicable to female patients.
I83.208 Varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with both ulcer of other part of lower extremity and inflammation
Vulvar varicosities are a common venous disorder prevalent among women with varicose veins of the pelvis and lower extremities and in pregnant women. In most cases, vulvar varicosities can be diagnosed at clinical examination, and do not require any special investigation methods.
When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I83) and the excluded code together. I83.208 Varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with both ulcer of other part of lower extremity and inflammation
Vulvar varicosities are varicose veins at the outer surface of the female genitalia (vulva). They occur most often during pregnancy. This is due to the increase in blood volume to the pelvic region during pregnancy and the associated decrease in how quickly your blood flows from your lower body to your heart.

Other inflammation of vagina and vulva ICD-10-CM N76. 89 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
About 4% of people with vulvas have vulvar varicosities. That number goes up to 20% for pregnant people. Around 20% to 35% of people who have varicose veins in their pelvis have them on their vulva, too. It's hard to know just how common these veins are, though, because vulvar varicosities don't always cause symptoms.
The vulva is the outer part of the female genitals. The vulva includes the opening of the vagina (sometimes called the vestibule), the labia majora (outer lips), the labia minora (inner lips), and the clitoris. Around the opening of the vagina, there are 2 sets of skin folds.

Traumatic vulvar hematomas are generally caused by falls on to or the straddling of objects, by vigorous coitus and by acts of physical aggression [5]. The vulva is made up of loose connective tissue and smooth muscle which is supplied by branches of the pudendal artery, which branches off the internal iliac artery.
Code is only used for patients 15 years old or older. I86.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of vulval varices. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code I86 is used to code Varicose veins. Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted. The term commonly refers to the veins on the leg, although varicose veins can occur elsewhere. Veins have pairs of leaflet valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards (retrograde flow or venous reflux).
Besides being a cosmetic problem, varicose veins can be painful, especially when standing. Severe long-standing varicose veins can lead to leg swelling, venous eczema, skin thickening (lipodermatosclerosis) and ulceration.
671.10 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of varicose veins of vulva and perineum complicating pregnancy and the puerperium, unspecified as to episode of care or not applicable. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-9 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
Every pregnancy has some risk of problems. The causes can be conditions you already have or conditions you develop. They also include being pregnant with more than one baby, previous problem pregnancies, or being over age 35. They can affect your health and the health of your baby.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
In pregnant women, the symptoms associated with vulvar varicosities were more pronounced and characterized by the combination of vulvar, perineal, and inguinal varicosities with symptoms of hormone-induced phlebopathy (swelling, heaviness, fatigue, presence of telangiectasia, reticular veins).
Dilation of vulvar veins occurred most often in women with a history of two or more full-term pregnancies (91%) and at a gestational age of 12–24 weeks (78%) . Subsequent pregnancies were accompanied by an earlier appearance and significantly greater dilation of the vulvar veins.
Vulvar varicosity is a relatively common venous disorder in women with varicose veins of the pelvis and lower extremities and in pregnant women, but there is little information in the medical literature concerning its diagnosis and management.
The use of MPFF did not lead to the complete cessation of symptoms associated with vulvar varicosities, but reduced their severity. In cases of skin itching and skin maceration in the region of vulvar varicose veins, H1histamine-receptor blockers and zinc oxide paste were recommended to relieve symptoms.
