The Board has determined that the veteran does not have myomatous uterus, status post total vaginal hysterectomy, related to her active service or her service-connected stress urinary incontinence.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no evidence linking the condition to military service and concluded it was unrelated to the service-connected stress urinary incontinence.
