Alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction
ICD-10 F10.281 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction.
F10.281 refers to a condition characterized by a pattern of alcohol use that leads to significant impairment or distress, specifically manifesting as sexual dysfunction due to the effects of alcohol. Alcohol dependence is marked by a strong craving for alcohol, loss of control over its use, and withdrawal symptoms when not consuming it. Alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction can present as erectile dysfunction in males, decreased libido, or other sexual performance issues in both genders. The dysfunction is directly attributable to the physiological effects of alcohol on the central nervous system, which can impair sexual arousal and performance. Treatment often involves addressing both the alcohol dependence and the sexual dysfunction, which may include counseling, medication, and support groups. Understanding the interplay between substance use and sexual health is crucial for effective management and recovery.
