Other sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition
ICD-10 F52.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition.
F52.8 encompasses a range of sexual dysfunctions that cannot be attributed to substance use or identifiable physiological conditions. This includes dysfunctions that may arise from psychological factors, such as anxiety, depression, or stress, as well as those linked to behavioral syndromes or eating disorders.

These dysfunctions can significantly impact interpersonal relationships and overall quality of life. It is essential for healthcare providers to conduct thorough assessments to identify underlying psychological or behavioral issues contributing to the dysfunction.
