Other ejaculatory dysfunction
ICD-10 N53.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ejaculatory dysfunction.
Ejaculatory dysfunction encompasses a range of disorders affecting the male reproductive system, specifically the ability to ejaculate. This condition can manifest as premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, or anejaculation, which can significantly impact a man's sexual health and overall quality of life. The etiology of ejaculatory dysfunction can be multifactorial, including psychological factors such as anxiety or depression, physiological issues like hormonal imbalances or nerve damage, and side effects from medications. Accurate diagnosis often requires a thorough medical history, physical examination, and sometimes additional tests to rule out underlying conditions. Treatment options vary based on the underlying cause and may include behavioral therapy, pharmacological interventions, or surgical options. Understanding the nuances of ejaculatory dysfunction is crucial for effective management and coding, as it can overlap with other sexual health disorders, necessitating careful documentation and coding practices.
