The Board found that the veteran's gynecological disorder, including POS, existed prior to service and was not aggravated by service. Therefore, it denied service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The pre-existing gynecological condition, including POS, was clearly and unmistakably shown to have existed prior to service and did not undergo a permanent increase in severity during service or due to any other factor.
