The Veteran's gynecological disorders were incurred during her active service and the Board has granted service connection for these conditions.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence shows that the Veteran had a pre-existing gynecological disorder prior to her entrance into service, but this condition did not worsen during her period of active duty. The most recent VA examination found no aggravation by service.
