Counseling related to sexual attitude

This code signifies a patient encounter focused on discussing and addressing their beliefs, feelings, and perspectives regarding sexuality. It involves therapeutic conversations aimed at understanding and potentially modifying attitudes that may be causing distress or impacting sexual health and relationships.

Use this code when a patient seeks professional guidance for concerns about their sexual attitudes, such as discomfort with their own sexuality, societal pressures, or conflicting views on sexual behavior. It is appropriate for counseling sessions where the primary focus is on the psychological and emotional aspects of sexual attitudes, rather than specific sexual dysfunctions or behaviors.

• This code is for counseling related to attitudes, not for specific sexual dysfunctions (e.g., erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia).
• Consider using additional codes to specify the reason for the counseling if known (e.g., relationship problems, anxiety).
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the focus on sexual attitudes and not just general sexual health education.
