Male orgasmic disorder

This code signifies a persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following a normal sexual excitement phase, which causes significant distress to the individual. It is a sexual dysfunction characterized by difficulty achieving climax despite adequate stimulation and desire.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates a male patient experiences significant distress due to an inability to achieve orgasm or a marked delay in orgasm during sexual activity. This diagnosis is typically made after ruling out other medical conditions or substance-related causes.

• Ensure the documentation specifies that the orgasmic difficulty is causing personal distress.
• Distinguish from anorgasmia due to medication side effects, which would be coded differently.
• Consider co-occurring mental health conditions that may contribute to or result from this disorder.
