The following basic prevention steps may help lower your risk of developing BV:
Yeast infection (vaginal)
Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate, and include:
ICD-10 code B37. 3 for Candidiasis of vulva and vagina is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
Candidiasis of vulva and vaginaB37. 3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM B37. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021.This is the American ICD-10-CM version of B37. 3 - other international versions of ICD-10 B37.
ICD-10 code N76. 0 for Acute vaginitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
The main difference between a BV vs yeast infection is that yeast infections are fungal – typically the result of the Candida fungus in the vagina. Both of these types of vaginitis are very common, with three out of every four women experiencing a yeast infection in their lifetime.
N93. 9 - Abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
Several factors can cause a yeast infection, including :antibiotics, which decrease the amount of Lactobacillus (“good bacteria”) in the vagina.pregnancy.uncontrolled diabetes.weak immune system.hormonal imbalance near your menstrual cycle.stress.

Vaginitis is inflammation of the vagina. It's due to an imbalance of yeast and bacteria that normally live in the vagina. Along with discomfort, you may notice a smell that's different than usual. You could have an infection caused by bacteria, yeast, or viruses.
Simply put, a yeast infection is fungal in nature, whereas BV is bacterial. An overgrowth of Candida fungus causes yeast infections. An overgrowth of one of the kinds of bacteria in your vagina causes BV.
Semen is alkaline and often women find they notice a fishy smell after having sex. This is because the vagina wants to be slightly acidic, but if it's knocked out of balance by the alkaline semen, and it can trigger BV.
The ICD code N771 is used to code Vaginal yeast infection. Vaginal yeast infection, also known as candidal vulvovaginitis and vaginal thrush, is excessive growth of yeast in the vagina that results in irritation. The most common symptom is vaginal itching, which may be severe.
N77.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of vaginitis, vulvitis and vulvovaginitis in diseases classified elsewhere. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The most common symptom is vaginal itching, which may be severe. Other symptoms include burning with urination, white and thick vaginal discharge that typically does not smell bad, pain with sex, and redness around the vagina. Symptoms often worsen just before a woman's period. Specialty:

ICD-10-CM B37.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0):
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM B37.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Candidiasis. Approximate Synonyms. Candidiasis. Clinical Information. A condition in which candida albicans , a type of yeast, grows out of control in moist skin areas of the body. It is usually a result of a weakened immune system, but can be a side effect of chemotherapy or treatment with antibiotics.
hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to organic dust ( J67.-) A condition in which candida albicans, a type of yeast, grows out of control in moist skin areas of the body. It is usually a result of a weakened immune system, but can be a side effect of chemotherapy or treatment with antibiotics.
Diagnosis of vaginitis is based on clinical symptoms, pH of the vaginal fluid and microscopic examination of the discharge. Symptoms are not present in approximately 50 % of women with bacterial vaginosis infection.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2010) also recommended the gram stain as the gold standard for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, and recommend use of Amsel's criteria if a gram stain is not available. Similar to the BASHH guidelines, the CDC states that the BVBlue, the Affirm VIP, and the Pip Activity TestCard "have acceptable performance characteristics" compared to the gram stain , but make no recommendation for their use. The CDC stated that a card test is available for the detection of elevated pH and trimethylamine, but it has low sensitivity and specificity and therefore is not recommended. The CDC also stated that PCR also has been used in research settings for the detection of a variety of organisms associated with bacterial vaginosis, but evaluation of its clinical utility is uncertain. The CDC stated that culture of G. vaginalis is not recommended as a diagnostic tool because it is not specific, and that cervical Pap tests have no clinical utility for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis because of their low sensitivity.
Trichomonas can also be detected by by DNA probes amplified by polymerase chain reaction. Sample is treated with enzymes that amplify specific regions of trichomonas vaginalis' DNA.
An UpToDate review on "Candida vulvovaginitis" (Sobel, 2015b) states that "Pap smear is positive in 25 % of patients with culture positive, symptomatic vulvovaginal candidiasis. It is insensitive because the cells are derived from the cervix, which is not affected by Candida vaginitis. Treatment of Candida on a Pap smear of an asymptomatic woman is not indicated".
Symptoms are not present in approximately 50 % of women with bacterial vaginosis infection. Bacterial vaginosis is not associated with soreness, itching or irritation. There may be an offensive and classically "fishy" smelling vaginal discharge.
