Female orgasmic disorder
ICD-10 F52.31 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of female orgasmic disorder.
Female orgasmic disorder is characterized by a persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following a normal sexual excitement phase, which causes significant distress or interpersonal difficulty. This condition can manifest in various ways, including the inability to achieve orgasm during sexual activity, even when adequate sexual stimulation is present. The disorder may be influenced by psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, as well as physiological factors like hormonal imbalances or medical conditions. It is essential for healthcare providers to conduct a thorough assessment, including a detailed sexual history and evaluation of any underlying medical or psychological conditions, to accurately diagnose and treat this disorder. Treatment options may include psychotherapy, sexual therapy, or pharmacological interventions, depending on the underlying causes and individual patient needs.
