The code N90.810 is applicable to female patients only. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like N90.810 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition.

Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
