# 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**.
