Regulation: 38 CFR § 4.116 · Body System: Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast
What This Condition Is
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when a pelvic organ — such as the bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina, small bowel, or rectum — drops (prolapses) from its normal place in the abdomen.

- Uterine or vaginal vault prolapse

- Rectocele

- Any combination of the above
Under Diagnostic Code 7621, the VA evaluates complete or incomplete pelvic organ prolapse due to injury, disease, or surgical complications of pregnancy.
Available Rating Level
The VA uses a rating schedule to assign a disability percentage. For Diagnostic Code 7621, the rating level is:
| Rating | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 10% | Complete or incomplete pelvic organ prolapse due to injury, disease, or surgical complications of pregnancy |
What the VA Looks For
- The VA evaluates pelvic organ prolapse itself under Diagnostic Code 7621.
- Any genitourinary, digestive, or skin symptoms connected to the prolapse are evaluated separately under the appropriate diagnostic code(s).
- Those separate evaluations are then combined with the 10 percent evaluation under DC 7621.
