Partly granted

The Veteran's cervical dysplasia claim is denied as there are no residuals. The initial compensable rating for service-connected hemorrhoids is also denied due to the current severity not meeting criteria for a higher rating. Service connection for pelvic relaxation and urinary incontinence is remanded for further development.

The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a direct link between the Veteran's conditions and her military service.
