ICD-10 Code F52.4 – Premature ejaculation (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F52.4 – Premature ejaculation
What it is
F52.4 identifies premature ejaculation, a male sexual dysfunction marked by ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired, often with little control. Use this code when the condition is documented as the primary diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features include rapid ejaculation during sexual activity, reduced ejaculatory control, and distress or relationship concern. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use F52.4 when the provider documents premature ejaculation as a diagnosis, especially in outpatient, behavioral health, or urology notes. You may also use it when the chart describes persistent early ejaculation with associated distress and no other cause is specified. Check documentation if the record is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for erectile dysfunction, low libido, or ejaculatory issues caused by another documented condition. If the note does not clearly identify premature ejaculation, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code only when the provider explicitly documents premature ejaculation; otherwise, query for clarification.
