The Board found that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen the claim for service connection for a gynecological disability, characterized as vaginal discharge, urinary tract infection, or female disorder. The RO determined there was no showing of a chronic female disorder or urinary tract infection during service.
The deciding factor: The veteran's complaints were found to be related to her service-connected kidney infection rather than a separate gynecological condition.
