Painful ejaculation

This code signifies the presence of dysorgasmia specifically characterized by pain experienced during ejaculation. It describes a symptom, not an underlying etiology, and can be associated with various genitourinary or neurological conditions.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states "painful ejaculation" or "dysorgasmia with pain on ejaculation." This symptom may be reported by the patient and confirmed by a physician, often as part of an evaluation for male sexual dysfunction or pelvic pain.

• Always sequence this code after the definitive diagnosis for the underlying cause, if known.
• Do not use this code if the pain is generalized pelvic pain that happens to occur during ejaculation but is not directly related to the ejaculatory process itself.
• Ensure documentation clearly distinguishes this from other forms of ejaculatory dysfunction, such as premature or retrograde ejaculation, which have separate codes.
