ICD-10 Code F52.6 – Dyspareunia not due to a substance or known physiological condition (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F52.6 – Dyspareunia not due to a substance or known physiological condition
What it is
This code identifies pain during sexual intercourse when the pain is not explained by a substance effect or a known physiological condition. Use it for documented sexual pain disorder diagnoses that fit this definition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, the record describes genital or pelvic pain associated with intercourse, with no identified substance-related cause or clear physiological explanation.
When to use this code
Use F52.6 when the clinician documents dyspareunia and specifically indicates it is not due to a substance or a known physiological condition. It may apply when the note distinguishes the condition from infection, injury, or other physical causes. Check documentation if the cause is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code when dyspareunia is attributed to a substance, an organic genital disorder, or another known physiological condition. If the chart identifies a different underlying cause, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Code only after confirming the provider’s wording excludes substance-related and physiological causes.
