Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for fibroid tumors for additional development, including obtaining a new medical opinion that addresses the Veteran's contention that her in-service dysmenorrhea, pelvic cramps, and iron-deficient anemia were indicators that she had undiagnosed fibroids during service.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary because the previous medical opinions are inadequate as they do not address the Veteran's contentions regarding the presence of fibroids during service.
