Female orgasmic disorder

This code signifies a persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following a normal sexual arousal phase in females, causing significant personal distress. It is a sexual dysfunction characterized by difficulty achieving climax despite adequate stimulation and desire.

Assign this code when a female patient presents with documented complaints of an inability to achieve orgasm or significantly delayed orgasm, and this condition causes clinically significant distress. Documentation should clearly indicate that the orgasmic dysfunction is not better explained by another mental disorder, relationship distress, or the effects of a substance or other medical condition.

• Ensure documentation specifies that the orgasmic difficulty is causing personal distress, as this is a diagnostic criterion.
• Differentiate from other female sexual dysfunctions like F52.21 (Female sexual arousal disorder) or F52.0 (Hypoactive sexual desire disorder).
• Consider sequencing with codes for any underlying medical conditions or substance use that might be contributing to the disorder, if applicable.
