The Board has denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for adenomyosis as secondary to her service-connected endometriosis, finding that there is no evidence of a nexus between the two conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that adenomyosis is not proximately due to or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected endometriosis.
