Hysterectomy,
Service connect for anemia
TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN;
Ms. xxxxxx, has been a patient of Dr. zzzzzzzz for many years. She was first seen in my office approximately, November 1983 for a physical to enter college. Through the next few years I treated Ms. Xxxxx for various conditions such as: pregnancy and annual Pap smear. I treated her prior to her enlistment in UNITED STATES NAVY, was approximately April 1988.
She returned back to my office in 1997 after she had been discharge from the Navy. She was in for a routine Pap smear and abdomen pain. She gave me her medical history which was chronic migraine headaches, chronic anemia, abdomen pain and chronic sinus. She stated that she took the following medicine midrin, DARVOCET-N and florinal, and Ferrous sulfate tablets daily for anemia.
She stated that the only surgeries she had was bilateral tubal ligation and (1992) and reduction mammoplasty (1997).
I performed an hysterectomy on Ms.xxxxxx on April 2004.
It is my medical opinion that iron deficiency anemia and her hysterectomy is related to each other.
I believed that it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that this condition first manifest on active duty/military.
The reason for this medical opinion is that:
Diagnosis from post-operative report:
Her postoperative diagnosis was :
Ovary and about 1.5 cm to 2.0 cm cystic teratoma of right ovary
What is missing, are is this to much information.
