Ovaries, atrophy of both, complete (DC 7620)

Body system: Gynecological ConditionsRegulation: 38 CFR § 4.116

Complete atrophy of both ovaries means both ovaries have shrunk or wasted away entirely, usually due to surgical removal, radiation, or certain medical treatments. This diagnostic code doesn't have its own specific rating percentages listed in the CFR. Instead, the VA will likely evaluate this condition under another related gynecological code or consider it alongside other conditions that may have caused the ovarian atrophy.

Rating levels

20% — Both ovaries have completely stopped working and have shrunk significantly in size (atrophy means the tissue has wasted away). This condition means the ovaries no longer produce hormones like estrogen and progesterone, and cannot release eggs for reproduction. The veteran would experience symptoms like missed periods, hot flashes, night sweats, and other effects of having no natural hormone production from the ovaries.
