Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new examination to determine if the Veteran has a gynecological condition separate and distinct from dysmenorrhea that is related to service.
The deciding factor: There was not substantial compliance with prior remand directives, as the examiner did not provide an adequate rationale regarding whether a laparoscopy or ultrasound was medically indicated and performed.
