Opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced sexual dysfunction
ICD-10 F11.981 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced sexual dysfunction.
F11.981 refers to a condition characterized by the use of opioids, which are substances that can lead to addiction and various health complications. Opioid use disorder is a complex condition that involves a compulsive pattern of opioid consumption, leading to significant impairment or distress. This code specifically highlights the presence of opioid-induced sexual dysfunction, a common side effect of opioid use. Patients may experience decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual health issues as a direct result of opioid consumption. The interplay between opioid use and sexual dysfunction can complicate treatment, as healthcare providers must address both the substance use disorder and the associated sexual health concerns. Effective management often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including behavioral therapies, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and counseling to address the psychological and physiological aspects of addiction and its effects on sexual health.
