Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for erectile dysfunction, gastrointestinal disability, and genitourinary disability to ensure adequate medical examination.
The deciding factor: The current VA examinations are inadequate as they failed to provide a reasoned medical explanation connecting the Veteran's claimed disabilities with his active military service or any other relevant factors.
