About the N52 Code Range
ICD-10 code section N52 covers various forms of male erectile dysfunction, a condition characterized by difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. These codes are used to specify the underlying causes or circumstances related to erectile dysfunction for accurate medical documentation and treatment planning.
This section includes codes such as N52.0 for vasculogenic erectile dysfunction and its subtypes like N52.01, which addresses erectile dysfunction due to arterial insufficiency—also known as vasculopathic erectile dysfunction or erectile dysfunction due to arterial disease. Other specific causes include N52.02 for corporo-venous occlusive erectile dysfunction, which refers to problems with blood outflow from the penis. Code N52.1 is used for erectile dysfunction caused by other diseases like diabetes or neuropathy. Drug-induced cases are captured under N52.2. Postprocedural erectile dysfunction following surgeries such as radical prostatectomy, cystectomy, or radiation therapy are detailed in codes from N52.3 to N52.39. Additional categories include other male erectile dysfunctions (N52.8) like functional disorders or injuries, and unspecified erectile dysfunction (N52.9), which covers general difficulties such as inability to sustain or get an erection. Using these codes helps medical professionals and coders connect common terms like “vasculogenic erectile dysfunction” or “erectile dysfunction following prostate surgery” to their precise ICD-10 codes for proper diagnosis and billing.
