Visceroptosis, symptomatic, marked (DC 7342)

Body system: Digestive SystemRegulation: 38 CFR § 4.114

Visceroptosis is when your abdominal organs (like your stomach, liver, or intestines) drop down from their normal position due to weakened supporting tissues. The VA only rates this condition when it's both symptomatic (causing noticeable problems) and marked (significant dropping). There's only one rating level at 10%, which means the VA recognizes this as a legitimate but generally mild disability that can affect your daily activities.

Rating levels

  • 10% — You have significant dropping or sagging of your internal organs in your abdomen (visceroptosis), and this condition is causing noticeable symptoms that affect your daily life. The symptoms are considered "marked," meaning they are clearly present and bothersome, such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, or digestive problems that occur regularly due to your organs being out of their normal positions.
