The Board has denied service connection for yeast infection and acute bacterial vaginitis as the evidence does not support a finding that these conditions began during or are otherwise related to active service.
The deciding factor: The medical records do not show chronicity of care or continuous signs, symptoms, or treatment for ABV or yeast infections since service.
