Vesicovaginal Fistula

A vesicovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the bladder and the vagina that allows urine to leak through the vagina. This condition often occurs after childbirth, especially in cases of prolonged labor, but can also result from surgery, radiation, or injury. Women with this condition may experience constant urinary leakage, leading to discomfort, hygiene issues, and emotional distress. Treatment typically involves surgery to repair the fistula and restore normal function. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to improving quality of life for affected individuals.
