The Board denied service connection for endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine fibroid disease with total abdominal hysterectomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy as the veteran's current conditions were not found to be related to her in-service right salpingo-oophorectomy.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the veteran's current gynecological conditions, including endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine fibroid disease, are not causally linked to her service-connected right salpingo-oophorectomy.
