Sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F52) ICD-10-CM
The F52 code range covers sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition with 14 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 11 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the F52 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section F52 covers various types of sexual dysfunctions that are not caused by substances or known physiological conditions. These codes help document specific sexual health issues such as desire disorders, arousal problems, orgasmic difficulties, and other related conditions.
This section includes codes like F52.0 for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, addressing a lack or loss of sexual interest, often termed sexual desire disorder or diminished erotic interest. F52.1 covers sexual aversion disorder, which involves fear or avoidance of sexual activity. Sexual arousal disorders have subcodes like F52.21 for male erectile disorder and F52.22 for female sexual arousal disorder, referring to difficulties achieving sexual excitement. Orgasmic disorders, such as F52.31 (female orgasmic disorder) and F52.32 (male orgasmic disorder), describe problems in reaching orgasm, sometimes known as failure of orgasm or inhibited orgasm. F52.4 addresses premature ejaculation, and codes like F52.5 and F52.6 refer to vaginismus and dyspareunia not linked to substances or physiological causes. Other or unspecified sexual dysfunctions are covered by F52.8 and F52.9. Using these specific ICD-10 codes helps medical coders accurately classify sexual dysfunction diagnoses that originate from psychological or behavioral causes rather than physical conditions.
