7611
§ 4.116 Schedule of ratings—gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast.

Vagina disease or injury

Disease or injury affecting the vagina that may cause pain, inflammation, or other symptoms.

What the rating means

VA rates disease or injury of the vagina under diagnostic code 7611 using the General Rating Formula for Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of Female Reproductive Organs, which covers diagnostic codes 7610 through 7615. Three ratings are possible. 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 be managed. A 0% rating applies when your symptoms do not require continuous treatment. The difference between the higher levels turns on whether treatment controls your symptoms, not simply whether you are receiving treatment. VA may also consider whether your condition affects a creative organ in a way that could entitle you to special monthly compensation under 38 CFR § 3.350.

Evidence that helps

To support a 30% rating, medical records should show that your symptoms persist or return despite ongoing, continuous treatment, meaning treatment is not bringing them under control. Clinician notes documenting treatment failures, medication adjustments, or continuing symptom severity are directly relevant. To support a 10% rating, records should show that continuous treatment is required to manage your symptoms, such as a physician's documented plan for ongoing medication, procedures, or therapy. To support any rating above 0%, evidence that you do not need ongoing treatment would work against a higher rating, so records reflecting a treatment plan and your adherence to it matter. Statements from you or others describing how symptoms affect your daily activities or work can help show the practical impact of the condition alongside clinical findings.
