ICD-10 Code F52.2 – Sexual arousal disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F52.2 – Sexual arousal disorders
What it is
F52.2 identifies sexual arousal disorders, meaning a persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining sexual arousal. Use this code when the record documents impaired arousal without a better explained medical or substance-related cause.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings include reduced genital response, difficulty becoming aroused, or distress related to the problem. The diagnosis is based on clinical history, not a single test.
When to use this code
Use F52.2 when the clinician documents a sexual arousal disorder as the diagnosis. It fits visits for evaluation of persistent arousal difficulty, especially when the note distinguishes it from low desire, pain, or another sexual dysfunction. Check documentation if the cause is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for normal variation, transient situational concerns, or symptoms better explained by another diagnosis. If the chart points to a medical, neurologic, psychiatric, or substance-related cause, code the documented underlying condition when appropriate.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider specifically documents arousal disorder, because “sexual dysfunction” alone may be too vague.
