About F52.5

F52.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for vaginismus not due to a substance or known physiological condition. It belongs to category F52 (sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition), block F50-F59 (behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within F52 (sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition), F52.5 is specifically for vaginismus not due to a substance or known physiological condition. Related codes cover Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (F52.0), sexual aversion disorder (F52.1), sexual arousal disorders (F52.2), orgasmic disorder (F52.3), premature ejaculation (F52.4), dyspareunia not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F52.6), other sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F52.8) and unspecified sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F52.9).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F52.5, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: vaginismus (due to a known physiological condition) (N94.2).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 760 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0129) and DRG 761 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7041), in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is on the CMS list of diagnoses consistent only with female patients (the sex-conflict edit itself was retired in FY2025).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 306.51 (psychogenic vaginismus).
