ICD-10 Code F10.981 – Alcohol use, unspecified with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.981 – Alcohol use, unspecified with alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction
What it is
This code identifies alcohol use, unspecified when it causes a sexual dysfunction directly linked to alcohol. Use it when the record documents an alcohol-related sexual problem but does not specify a more precise alcohol use disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include reduced sexual desire, erectile difficulty, orgasmic problems, or other sexual dysfunction noted by the clinician as alcohol-induced.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider states that alcohol use is associated with sexual dysfunction and the alcohol condition is otherwise unspecified. It fits encounters where the sexual problem is documented as caused by alcohol, but no further detail is given. Check documentation for the exact relationship and terminology.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the sexual dysfunction is not linked to alcohol or if another specific alcohol-related diagnosis is documented. Do not assign it when the record lacks support for an alcohol-induced cause.
Coding tip
Code the alcohol-related cause and the sexual dysfunction only when the provider clearly documents the association.
