Surgical removal of one or both ovaries.
To support a 100% rating for the first three months after surgery, operative or discharge records confirming the date of removal are the most direct evidence. After that period, what matters most is documentation of how much ovarian tissue was removed. Surgical pathology reports, operative notes, and imaging results can show whether one or both ovaries were fully removed. If you are claiming the 30% exception — where one ovary was removed due to a service-connected condition while the other is absent or nonfunctioning for an unrelated reason — medical records establishing both facts are needed: records tying the removed ovary to your service-connected condition, and records from a treating provider confirming the absence or nonfunctioning status of the remaining ovary. Statements from you or your doctors describing how the removal affects your daily life and work may also support the overall claim.
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.
