Understanding This Condition
Diagnostic Code 7611 covers disease or injury of the vagina. It is rated using the General Rating Formula for Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of Female Reproductive Organs (diagnostic codes 7610 through 7615).
Under this general formula, the rating is based on how symptoms respond to treatment — whether they require ongoing care and whether that care keeps symptoms under control.
Available Rating Levels
Under the general rating formula for this condition:
| Rating | What It Reflects |
|---|---|
| 30% | Symptoms not controlled by continuous treatment |
| 10% | Symptoms that require continuous treatment |
| 0% | Symptoms that do not require continuous treatment |
What the VA Looks For
When evaluating a condition under Diagnostic Code 7611, the VA focuses on:
- Whether symptoms are present and how they affect you.
- Whether continuous treatment is required to manage those symptoms.
- Whether that treatment controls the symptoms — the highest listed level (30%) applies when symptoms are not controlled by continuous treatment, while a lower level applies when symptoms do not require continuous treatment.
Important Note
For VA disability evaluation purposes, a disease, injury, or adhesions of the ovaries that results in ovarian dysfunction affecting the menstrual cycle — such as dysmenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea — is rated under Diagnostic Code 7615 instead.
