Vagina, disease or injury of (DC 7611)

Body system: Gynecological ConditionsRegulation: 38 CFR § 4.116

DC 7611 covers disease or injury of the vagina — including chronic vaginitis, atrophic vaginitis, vaginal stenosis, fistulae (rectovaginal or vesicovaginal — separately considered for higher fixed ratings under DCs 7332/7512 if predominant), and post-surgical or post-radiation residuals. The VA rates this condition under the General Rating Formula for Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of Female Reproductive Organs — a 3-tier ladder (38 CFR § 4.116) keyed to whether symptoms are controlled by continuous treatment.

Rating levels

  • 30% — You qualify for 30% if symptoms persist despite ongoing medical treatment — medication, hormone therapy, or surgical management is not adequately controlling the condition.
  • 10% — You qualify for 10% if symptoms require continuous treatment (daily medication, ongoing hormonal therapy, recurring procedures) AND treatment is adequately controlling them.
  • 0% — You qualify for 0% if you have a diagnosed condition but symptoms do not require continuous treatment — intermittent flares, mild residuals, or asymptomatic between episodes.
