The Female Reproductive System and Breasts
The VA rates conditions affecting the female reproductive system and breasts based on their severity, symptoms, and impact on daily life. These conditions often result from surgery, trauma, or diseases that can lead to significant physical and functional impairments. Accurate diagnosis and medical documentation are essential to determine appropriate ratings.
