§ 4.116 Schedule of ratings—gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast.

Cervix disease or injury

Disease or injury affecting the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina.

What the rating means

VA rates disease or injury of the cervix under the General Rating Formula for Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of Female Reproductive Organs, which also covers diagnostic codes 7610 through 7615. Three rating levels are possible: 30%, 10%, and 0%.

A 30% rating applies when your symptoms are not controlled even with continuous treatment. A 10% rating applies when your symptoms require continuous treatment to manage them. A 0% rating applies when your symptoms do not require continuous treatment.

VA also notes that natural menopause, primary amenorrhea, and pregnancy and childbirth are not considered disabilities for rating purposes. However, chronic residuals of medical or surgical complications of pregnancy may be rated. If your condition involves the loss or loss of use of a creative organ, VA may separately consider whether you are entitled to special monthly compensation under 38 CFR § 3.350.

Evidence that helps

Because the rating turns on whether your symptoms are controlled and whether continuous treatment is needed, your medical records should clearly show both what symptoms you experience and what treatment, if any, you are receiving.

Records from your treating provider that document ongoing symptoms — such as pain, bleeding, or discharge — and show that those symptoms persist despite continuous treatment would support a 30% rating. Records showing that continuous treatment is keeping your symptoms manageable would support a 10% rating. If your symptoms come and go and do not require continuous treatment, that points toward a 0% rating.

Treatment records that show prescriptions, procedures, or regular medical visits help establish whether treatment is continuous. Your own statements, or statements from people who know you, describing how symptoms affect your daily activities and work can also help fill in the picture that medical records alone may not fully capture.

Secondary conditions

Conditions that are often caused or made worse by this one. If you have any of these, they may be claimable as secondary service connection.
