Sexual dysfunction, unspecified (R37)
The ICD-10 code R37 is used to classify cases of sexual dysfunction, unspecified, covering a broad range of difficulties related to sexual performance and satisfaction when no more specific diagnosis applies.
This code captures various conditions often described by terms such as sexual inadequacy, decreased sexual function, coital disorder, and failure of orgasm. It applies to situations involving inhibited or weak orgasm, painful or unsuccessful intercourse, and other problems like inability to engage in sexual intercourse or abnormal sexual response. For medical coders and healthcare professionals, using ICD-10 code R37 helps document these unspecified sexual function issues when they do not fall under more defined disorders. This clarity assists in accurate medical records and appropriate care planning for patients experiencing these symptoms.
