7620
§ 4.116 Schedule of ratings—gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast.

Complete atrophy of both ovaries

Complete loss of function in both ovaries due to tissue shrinkage.

What the rating means

Complete atrophy of both ovaries is rated under Diagnostic Code 7620 in the VA schedule for gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast. There is one rating level: 20%. This rating applies when both ovaries have completely atrophied.

A separate consideration may apply alongside this rating. Because this condition involves the loss or loss of use of creative organs, VA must also review whether you may be entitled to special monthly compensation under 38 CFR § 3.350. That review is separate from the disability rating itself.

Two conditions are not considered disabilities for rating purposes under this section: natural menopause and primary amenorrhea. Pregnancy and childbirth are also excluded, though chronic residuals of medical or surgical complications of pregnancy may qualify as disabilities.

Evidence that helps

To support a 20% rating for complete atrophy of both ovaries, your records should show that both ovaries have completely atrophied. Medical records from a gynecologist or other treating provider documenting the diagnosis and confirming the bilateral, complete nature of the atrophy are central to this. Imaging studies such as ultrasound or other diagnostic imaging that show the size and condition of both ovaries can directly reflect the degree of atrophy.

Operative reports or pathology records are relevant if the atrophy resulted from surgery or a medical procedure. Hormone panel results showing the loss of ovarian function may help corroborate the clinical picture. Statements from you describing how your symptoms affect your daily life and work can provide context, though the rating itself turns on the confirmed clinical finding of complete bilateral atrophy rather than on symptom severity. Records that document chronic residuals of any surgical or medical complications may also be relevant depending on your circumstances.

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.
