ICD-10 Code B37.32 – Chronic candidiasis of vulva and vagina (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B37.32 – Chronic candidiasis of vulva and vagina
What it is
B37.32 identifies chronic Candida infection involving the vulva and vagina. It is used when documentation shows a recurrent or persistent yeast infection rather than a single acute episode.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include vulvar itching, burning, irritation, and vaginal discharge. Findings are consistent with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis; if details are unclear, check documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents chronic, recurrent, or persistent candidiasis of the vulva and vagina. It may also apply when the record clearly distinguishes the condition from an acute vaginal yeast infection. If the site or chronicity is not explicit, verify the note before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use B37.32 for nonspecific vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, or other vulvar skin disorders. If the documentation only says “yeast infection” without chronicity or site, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code B37.32 only when both chronicity and vulvovaginal location are documented.
