The Board found that the veteran's left ovary adhesions are currently manifested by symptoms controlled by continuous treatment, and thus do not warrant an increased rating higher than the current 10 percent disability evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran's left ovary adhesions were well-controlled with medications such as Motrin and birth control pills, which relieved her pain. The symptoms did not require additional treatments or interventions beyond what was already provided.
