Corporo-venous occlusive erectile dysfunction

This diagnosis code signifies erectile dysfunction (ED) specifically caused by a veno-occlusive disorder of the penis, where blood leaks out of the corpora cavernosa too quickly to maintain an erection. It indicates a physiological inability to sustain penile rigidity due to impaired venous outflow mechanisms.

Use this code when documentation clearly states erectile dysfunction due to a corporo-venous occlusive etiology, often diagnosed through dynamic infusion cavernosometry and cavernosography (DICC) or penile duplex ultrasound. This diagnosis is appropriate when the underlying cause of ED is confirmed to be venous leakage.

• Ensure documentation specifies "corporo-venous occlusive" or "venous leakage" as the cause of ED, not just "vascular ED."
• Do not confuse with arterial insufficiency ED; this code is specific to venous outflow problems.
• Consider sequencing this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter, especially for diagnostic workup or treatment of this specific type of ED.
