Utero-vaginal fistula

Utero-vaginal fistula is a pathological anastomosis between the rectum and vagina. The most common cause is pelvic infection. Treatment: surgical.

Uterine-vaginal fistula comes from the Greek uterus “uterus” and vaginalis “flattering moisture”. It is a pathological passage that connects the rectum and vagina, causing severe discomfort and pain. Most often, this type of fistula occurs in women and is associated with infection of the pelvic organs. Despite this, men can also have it. This type of fistula is very common and not easy to detect. They may be very small and unnoticeable, and symptoms may appear as they become larger or become blocked. If left untreated, they can lead to serious complications. Delayed treatment may complicate further treatment.
