Premature ejaculation

This code represents a male sexual dysfunction characterized by recurrent or persistent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation, either before, during, or shortly after penetration, and before the individual wishes it. It causes significant distress or interpersonal difficulty.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of premature ejaculation based on clinical criteria. This includes instances where the condition is primary (lifelong) or secondary (acquired). Supporting documentation should detail the patient's symptoms, duration, and the associated distress.

• Differentiate from other male sexual dysfunctions such as erectile dysfunction (F52.21) or male orgasmic disorder (F52.31).
• Ensure the provider's documentation specifies the "premature" aspect of ejaculation and associated distress.
• This code can be a primary diagnosis or a secondary diagnosis when co-occurring with other conditions.
