Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction

This code signifies a pattern of problematic alcohol use (abuse) that directly results in sexual dysfunction. This includes conditions such as erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, or anorgasmia, where alcohol is identified as the causative factor. The patient experiences functional impairment due to their alcohol consumption affecting sexual health.

Use this code when documentation clearly links a patient's alcohol abuse to a diagnosed sexual dysfunction. This typically applies to patients presenting with sexual complaints where a thorough history reveals significant alcohol intake as the primary etiology. Supporting documentation should include a diagnosis of alcohol abuse and a specific alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "alcohol-induced" or a similar causal link between alcohol abuse and the sexual dysfunction.
• Do not use this code if the sexual dysfunction is due to other medical conditions, medications, or psychological factors not directly related to alcohol.
• Consider co-reporting with codes for specific types of sexual dysfunction (e.g., F52.21 for male erectile dysfunction) if further specificity is documented and warranted.
