The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction, finding no evidence to support a direct link between the condition and his in-service urethra infection or any other in-service event.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's current erectile dysfunction was less likely than not related to his in-service urethra/prostate infection and more likely related to his diabetes and hypertension, for which he is not service connected at the time of adjudication. The Board also found no evidence supporting a secondary connection to his service-connected disabilities or toxic exposure.
