ICD-10 Code F52.22 – Female sexual arousal disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F52.22 – Female sexual arousal disorder
What it is
F52.22 identifies female sexual arousal disorder, a condition where a woman has persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining sexual arousal. Use it only when the documentation clearly states this diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include reduced genital response, diminished lubrication, or lack of subjective arousal during sexual activity. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents female sexual arousal disorder, including cases described as persistent or recurrent arousal difficulty. It may be supported by a sexual history or assessment note. Check documentation if the record only mentions low libido or another sexual concern.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general decreased desire, pain with intercourse, or other sexual dysfunctions unless the provider specifically documents female sexual arousal disorder. Check documentation for the exact diagnosis.
Coding tip
Code the documented disorder as written and avoid substituting it for related but distinct sexual dysfunction terms.
