Unspecified sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition
ICD-10 F52.9 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition.
F52.9 refers to a category of sexual dysfunction that cannot be attributed to a specific substance use or a known physiological condition. This diagnosis encompasses a range of sexual issues that may manifest as a lack of sexual desire, difficulty in sexual arousal, or problems with orgasm. The condition is often multifactorial, influenced by psychological, emotional, and relational factors. It is important to note that this code is used when the clinician has ruled out other potential causes, including medical conditions such as diabetes or hormonal imbalances, as well as substance-induced dysfunctions. The diagnosis may be associated with psychological disorders, including anxiety, depression, or stress, which can significantly impact sexual function. Treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including psychotherapy, counseling, and sometimes pharmacotherapy, depending on the underlying issues identified during the assessment.
