N82.0: Vesicovaginal fistula

An abnormal opening (fistula) has developed between your vagina and your bladder.

The vagina is tubular and leads from the outside to the uterus.

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.

A fistula may develop between two organs following surgery or injury, for example. It may also develop in the case of persistent inflammation.

This opening can cause various symptoms. You may have pain at the affected site. A fistula between the vagina and bladder can also cause bladder infections (cystitis). Urine may also leak through the opening. The fistula may also become inflamed. In that case you may have a high temperature, and pus may appear in the fistula.
