Fallopian tube, disease, injury, or adhesions of) (DC 7614)

Body system: Gynecological ConditionsRegulation: 38 CFR § 4.116

DC 7614 covers disease, injury, or adhesions of the fallopian tube, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) — a sequel of chlamydial or gonococcal infection that can produce tubo-ovarian abscess, hydrosalpinx, pyosalpinx, chronic pelvic pain, and tubal-factor infertility. Also covered: salpingitis, tubal adhesions from prior surgery or endometriosis, and ectopic-pregnancy 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. Complete removal of both fallopian tubes is part of the higher fixed-rating schedule under DC 7619 (ovaries).

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.
