N82.2: Fistula of vagina to small intestine
An abnormal opening (fistula) has developed between your vagina and your small intestine.
The vagina is tubular and leads from the outside to the uterus.
The small intestine is the longest section of the digestive tract. It is directly attached to the stomach. The nutrients from food are absorbed in the small intestine.
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. Air or intestinal contents are sometimes released through the vagina. The fistula may also become inflamed. In that case you may have a high temperature, and pus may appear in the fistula.
