N32.1: Vesicointestinal fistula
You have an additional passage connecting your bladder to your intestine.
The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out. The ureter and urethra are referred to as urinary passages. The bladder is normally connected to the kidney and urethra via the ureters.
You have an additional passage connecting your bladder to your intestine. This passage may run from the bladder into the intestine. This kind of additional connecting passage may form as a result of a bladder inflammation, for example. Fluids may flow into the intestine through this passage, for example pus or urine. However, feces may also enter the bladder from the intestine through this passage.
This condition can cause the urinary passages to become inflamed. You may also have a high temperature and feel weak. It is also possible that you will have abdominal pain. You may possibly also have diarrhea.
