Other male sexual dysfunction (N53)
The ICD-10 code section N53 covers various other male sexual dysfunctions that include a range of ejaculatory and sexual performance issues not classified elsewhere. These codes help specify problems like difficulty with ejaculation, painful sexual experiences, or unspecified male sexual disorders.
This section includes specific codes such as N53.11 for retarded ejaculation (also known as late ejaculation), and N53.12 for painful ejaculation, which covers non-psychogenic sexual pain disorders in males. Another example is N53.13 for anejaculatory orgasm, also called coital disorder or orgasm without ejaculation. N53.14 addresses retrograde ejaculation, a condition where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting through the penis. The category also includes less common or unspecified issues under codes like N53.19, N53.8, and N53.9, addressing other or unspecified ejaculatory and sexual dysfunctions. Understanding these ICD-10 codes aids medical coders and healthcare professionals in accurately documenting male sexual disorders, improving clarity in medical records and billing.

Instructional Notations
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!"

An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Terms
The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.
Dyspareunia
Recurrent genital pain occurring during, before, or after SEXUAL INTERCOURSE in either the male or the female.
Ejaculation
The emission of SEMEN to the exterior, resulting from the contraction of muscles surrounding the male internal urogenital ducts.
Ejaculatory Dysfunction
The inability in males to ejaculate, or to have a normal time to EJACULATION.
Retrograde Ejaculation
The flow of SEMINAL FLUID, from the posterior URETHRA, backwards into the BLADDER. Causes include injuries such as from SPINAL CORD INJURIES; DIABETIC NEUROPATHIES; surgeries in adjacent tissues such as AORTIC ANEURYSM surgeries and transurethral bladder neck incisions; or drug side effects.
