About N53

N53 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other male sexual dysfunction. It belongs to block N40-N53 (diseases of male genital organs) and chapter 14 (diseases of the genitourinary system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N53.1 (dysfunction), N53.8 (dysfunction) and N53.9 (dysfunction).

Don't report N53 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: psychogenic sexual dysfunction (F52.-).

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