The Board finds that the veteran does not have a current continuing gynecological disability and her claim for service connection is denied. The evaluation of tachycardia, status post radio frequency ablation remains pending as further development is needed to determine if an increased rating is warranted.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a chronic gynecological disorder during or after active service, and the veteran's current clinical findings do not support a grant of service connection. The June 2003 VA examination report did not provide METs for tachycardia, which are necessary to properly rate the disability under Diagnostic Code 7011.

- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including left hip disorder, bilateral ankle disorder, bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy, heart disorder, insomnia, sexual arousal disorder, gynecological disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, and HTN. The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of these conditions or their relationship to military service.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the claims for service connection due to a duty to assist error and further examination.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the claims for diabetes mellitus, sinusitis, tachycardia, hypothyroidism, skin cancer, and carpal tunnel syndrome due to service connection issues. The Veteran's obesity is a potential intermediary step in some of these theories.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for a gynecological disorder, finding no evidence of a disability during the appeal period and noting that there was no indication of chronic residuals associated with in-service genital warts. Post-service post-menopausal bleeding has not been linked to service.
