Cervix, Disease or Injury Of — VA Diagnostic Code 7612
Body System: Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast Regulation: 38 CFR § 4.116 Diagnostic Code: 7612
Understanding This Condition
Diagnostic Code 7612 covers disease or injury of the cervix. The VA evaluates this condition using the General Rating Formula for Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of Female Reproductive Organs, which applies to diagnostic codes 7610 through 7615.
Under this general formula, ratings are based on how symptoms respond to treatment — specifically, whether symptoms require continuous treatment and whether that treatment controls them.
Rating Levels Under the General Formula
Based on the general rating formula for this condition, the following levels apply:
| 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 rating a disease or injury of the cervix, the VA focuses on:
- Whether symptoms are present and their nature.
- Whether continuous treatment is required to manage those symptoms.
- Whether continuous treatment controls the symptoms or the symptoms persist despite treatment.
The higher rating (30%) reflects symptoms that continue even with ongoing treatment, while the lower levels reflect conditions that respond to treatment or do not require continuous treatment at all.
Important Note
For the purpose of VA disability evaluation, a disease, injury, or adhesions of the ovaries resulting in ovarian dysfunction affecting the menstrual cycle — such as dysmenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea — shall be rated under diagnostic code 7615.
