Vaginal Fistula

A vaginal fistula is an abnormal opening that develops between the vagina and nearby organs, such as the bladder or rectum. This causes continuous leakage of urine or stool into the vagina, leading to discomfort, odor, and social challenges. It often results from prolonged labor, childbirth injuries, or infections. Treatment typically involves surgical repair to close the abnormal opening and restore normal function. Addressing the condition promptly improves quality of life and prevents complications.
