ICD-10 Code F10.181 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.181 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction
What it is
F10.181 identifies alcohol abuse when it causes a sexual dysfunction, such as reduced desire or impaired performance, and the clinician links both conditions. Use it only when the alcohol-related cause is documented.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common notes may include sexual dysfunction occurring in the setting of alcohol abuse, with symptoms temporally associated with drinking and no better explanation recorded.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states alcohol abuse and specifically connects it to the sexual dysfunction. It fits outpatient, inpatient, or behavioral health documentation when the provider documents a causal relationship. If the link is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use F10.181 if sexual dysfunction is documented without alcohol abuse, or if alcohol use is present but not linked to the dysfunction. Check documentation for dependence, intoxication, or another substance-related cause.
Coding tip
Code the alcohol-related diagnosis only when the provider explicitly documents the relationship between alcohol abuse and the sexual dysfunction.
