I have experienced very similar symptoms which lead to transvaginal ultrasound, urine tests for UTI, and a cystoscopy to look at the lining of my bladder and make sure that there were no bladder abnormalities. Everything came back clear. For me, very luckily, in general it appears just to be...

I have only had perineal fistulas, but if you notice fecal matter leaking through your vagina, you definitely need to get it checked out. Vaginal delivery can cause rectovaginal fistulas. Good luck!

Hi there, anyone have vaginal birth who had perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease at the time? Dr. Switched out a seton that should have been left alone. I was given the 'go-ahead' for vaginal birth, but after switching the seton I started having lots of draining, and now drs are concerned that...
