Recto Vaginal or Ano Vaginal Fistula Treatement 

Rectovaginal Fistula

A recto-vaginal fistula – as the name indicates is a fistula, an abnormal connection between the rectum & vagina. The opening between the rectum & the vagina will allow the passage of faeces or flatus (gas) from the rectum to the vagina, creating an unhygienic, embarrassing and stressful condition for the patient. Not only there may be flatus and faecal matter being discharged / leaking out of the vagina, but it may lead to recurrent urinary and vaginal infections.

Recto-vaginal fistula can develop in women, young girls who are victims of forced sex. However, the most common cause found in women specially of developing and underdeveloped countries (in conditions where there is inadequate health care), is trauma during child birth r infection or tear of an episiotomy. This type of recto-vaginal fistulas is termed as “Obstetric fistula”. The cause may be tears in the perineum that extend to the bowel, following a long & difficult labour. Obstetric fistula may involve injury to the anal sphincter also – this making matters more serious.
