Aetiological considerations associated with a medical condition, injury, or the effects of surgery or radiation treatment

Description

This category should be assigned when there is evidence that an underlying or co-occurring health condition, including hormonal, neurological, and vascular conditions, injuries, and consequences of surgical or radiation treatment is an important contributing factor to a Sexual Dysfunction or a Sexual Pain Disorder. In such cases, the diagnosis corresponding to the underlying or co-occurring health condition should also be assigned. However, underlying or contributory mental disorders should be noted using the qualifier ‘Associated with psychological and behavioural factors, including mental disorders’, rather than using with this category.
