Chronic epididymitis or orchitis is rated under diagnostic code 7525 as urinary tract infection: 0 percent for suppressive therapy under 6 months, 10 percent for 1 to 2 hospitalizations per year or suppressive therapy of 6 months or longer, and 30 percent for infection requiring drainage, more than 2 hospitalizations per year, or continuous intensive management. Tubercular infections rate under the infectious disease provisions instead.
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is rated under diagnostic code 7614 at 10 or 30 percent based on symptom severity and treatment requirements.
Disease or injury of the vagina (diagnostic code 7611) and of the vulva, including vulvovaginitis (7610), are rated under the gynecological General Rating Formula: 0 percent for symptoms not requiring continuous treatment, 10 percent for symptoms requiring continuous treatment, and 30 percent for symptoms not controlled by continuous treatment.
Endometriosis is rated under diagnostic code 7629 at 10, 30, or 50 percent based on symptom severity, response to treatment, and impact on bowel and bladder function.
Erectile dysfunction is rated under diagnostic code 7522 at 20 percent when there is deformity of the penis with loss of erectile power. Additionally, Special Monthly Compensation (SMC-K), which is $139.87 per month for 2026, is awarded for loss of use of a creative organ.
Female infertility may be rated under the appropriate reproductive condition code, with consideration for Special Monthly Compensation (SMC-K) for loss of use of a creative organ.
Female sexual arousal disorder is rated under diagnostic code 7632 at 0 percent, the only level the schedule offers. The 0 percent rating still matters. It establishes service connection, and VA must consider Special Monthly Compensation (SMC-K) for loss of use of a creative organ, which is paid on top of your combined rating.
Fibrocystic breast disease has no percentage table of its own. Under the current schedule it falls under diagnostic code 7631 (benign neoplasms of the breast and other injuries of the breast), which directs VA to rate chronic residuals according to impairment of function: painful or unstable scars, lymphedema, disfigurement, or functional limits. With no separately ratable residual the rating is 0 percent, which still establishes service connection.
Gynecomastia has no diagnostic code of its own. Under the current schedule it is evaluated under diagnostic code 7631 (benign neoplasms of the breast and other injuries of the breast), which has no percentage table: VA rates chronic residuals by impairment of function, most often surgical scars after correction, with a painful scar rating 10 percent. Without a separately ratable residual the rating is 0 percent. It is most often claimed secondary to medications taken for a service connected condition.
Removal of the uterus is rated at 100 percent for three months after surgery, then 30 percent under diagnostic code 7618. When the uterus and both ovaries were removed, the ongoing rating is 50 percent under diagnostic code 7617. VA should also review Special Monthly Compensation (SMC-K) for anatomical loss of a creative organ, paid on top of the rating.
Male infertility from a service connected condition may qualify for Special Monthly Compensation (SMC-K) for loss of use of a creative organ, in addition to any underlying schedular rating.
Recurrent ovarian cysts are rated under diagnostic code 7615 by analogy to disease of the ovary, based on symptom severity and response to treatment.
Removal of half or more of the penis is rated under diagnostic code 7520 at 30 percent or as voiding dysfunction, whichever is greater; removal of the glans under 7521 at 20 percent or as voiding dysfunction. Either carries Special Monthly Compensation for loss or loss of use of a creative organ.
PCOS is rated by analogy under 38 CFR 4.116, DC 7615 (ovary, disease, injury, or adhesions of), based on functional impact and related complications.
Premature ovarian failure is rated by analogy under diagnostic code 7615 based on symptom severity and hormone replacement requirements.
Removal of one testis is rated under diagnostic code 7524 at 0 percent, and removal of both at 30 percent. Either way, loss of a creative organ qualifies for Special Monthly Compensation under 38 USC 1114(k), which pays a monthly amount on top of the schedular rating.
Severe dysmenorrhea may be rated under diagnostic code 7629 (analogous to endometriosis) or by reference to the underlying gynecologic condition.
Testicular atrophy is rated under diagnostic code 7523 at 0 or 20 percent based on whether atrophy is partial or complete and bilateral.
Uterine fibroids are rated under diagnostic code 7613 by analogy to disease of the uterus, based on symptom severity and response to treatment.
Uterine prolapse is rated under diagnostic code 7621 at 50 percent for complete prolapse, through the vagina and introitus, and 30 percent for incomplete prolapse.
Varicocele is rated by analogy to chronic epididymo-orchitis under diagnostic code 7525, which rates as urinary tract infection: 0 percent for suppressive therapy under 6 months, 10 percent for 1 to 2 hospitalizations per year or suppressive therapy of 6 months or longer, and 30 percent for infection requiring drainage, more than 2 hospitalizations per year, or continuous intensive management. Painful residuals and any surgical scars can be rated separately.
