Sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition
Chapter 5:Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders
ICD-10 F52 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition.
F52 refers to sexual dysfunction that is not attributable to substance use or identifiable physiological conditions. This category encompasses a range of sexual dysfunctions, including but not limited to erectile dysfunction, female sexual arousal disorder, and orgasmic disorders. The etiology of these dysfunctions is often multifactorial, involving psychological, emotional, and relational components. Factors such as anxiety, depression, stress, and interpersonal issues can significantly impact sexual function. It is crucial for healthcare providers to conduct thorough assessments to differentiate between sexual dysfunctions that arise from psychological factors versus those that are physiological in nature. Treatment may involve psychotherapy, counseling, or pharmacological interventions, depending on the underlying causes. Accurate coding requires careful documentation of the patient's history, presenting symptoms, and any relevant psychosocial factors that may contribute to the dysfunction.
