The veteran's ovarian cysts and adhesions, with right salpingectomy and oophorectomy, are currently rated at 10 percent from June 1, 2003 onwards. The claim for an increased rating is denied.
The deciding factor: The current symptomatology of the veteran's condition does not warrant a higher rating as it is related to endometriosis and spontaneous abortions rather than the residuals of ovarian cysts and adhesions.
