## Notes

- 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

# VA Disability Rating: Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of the Ovary (Diagnostic Code 7615)

**Body System:** Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast
**Regulation:** 38 CFR § 4.116

## Understanding This Condition

Diagnostic Code 7615 covers **disease, injury, or adhesions of the ovary**. For VA disability evaluation purposes, a disease, injury, or adhesions of the ovaries that result in ovarian dysfunction affecting the menstrual cycle — such as dysmenorrhea (painful periods) and secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) — are rated under this diagnostic code.

This condition is evaluated using the **General Rating Formula for Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of Female Reproductive Organs**, which applies to diagnostic codes 7610 through 7615.

## Available Rating Levels

Under the general rating formula, this condition is rated based on symptoms and the level of treatment they require:

| 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 claim under Diagnostic Code 7615, the VA focuses on:

- **The presence of symptoms** related to disease, injury, or adhesions of the ovary, including effects on the menstrual cycle such as dysmenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea.
- **Whether the symptoms require continuous treatment** — this distinguishes a 10% rating (symptoms requiring continuous treatment) from a 0% rating (symptoms not requiring continuous treatment).
- **Whether continuous treatment controls the symptoms** — symptoms that are *not* controlled by continuous treatment correspond to the 30% level.
