Alcohol use, unsp with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction

This code signifies a diagnosis of unspecified alcohol use disorder accompanied by sexual dysfunction directly attributable to alcohol consumption. The patient experiences impaired sexual function (e.g., erectile dysfunction, decreased libido) as a direct physiological consequence of alcohol intake, without further specification of the severity or pattern of alcohol use.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a patient's sexual dysfunction to alcohol use, but the specific pattern or severity of alcohol use (e.g., abuse, dependence) is not documented. This code is appropriate when the provider explicitly states "alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction" in the absence of more specific alcohol use disorder details.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states the sexual dysfunction is "alcohol-induced" to support the causal link.
• If the type of alcohol use (e.g., harmful use, dependence) is specified, a more precise F10 subcategory should be used.
• Code also the specific type of sexual dysfunction (e.g., F52.21 for male erectile dysfunction) if documented.
