ICD-Code F52.9: Unspecified sexual dysfunction, not caused by organic disorder or disease
Your sexual behavior or experience is not normal. There is no physical reason for this.
Sex involves different stages that lead to psychological and physical changes. Firstly, there is the arousal stage, when a person experiences the desire to have sex. Then, for example, one’s blood pressure rises and breathing gets faster. The external sex organs also swell. Once arousal has reached a certain level, the person experiences an orgasm. After the sexual high, one feels satisfied and the body relaxes. The blood pressure falls, for example, breathing returns to normal, and one may feel tired.

- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
- A: Excluded diagnosis
- L: Left
