Vesicovaginal Fistula

A vesicovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the bladder and the vagina, which causes a continuous, involuntary leakage of urine into the vaginal canal.

Common symptoms: constant leakage of urine, persistent wetness, irritation of the skin in the area, and, at times, repeated urinary tract infections.

Common causes: it can appear after pelvic surgeries, complications of prolonged labor, radiation therapy, or certain processes that affect the tissues of the region.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the professional who studies and addresses this condition, often in collaboration with gynecology. If you notice continuous, uncontrolled urine leakage, it is worth discussing it with a specialist to identify the cause and the available options.
