I am pretty sure I have a vaginal fistula. I went for a ct scan yesterday.Which showed severe constipation. I went to gynecologist Tuesday and have a Barium Enema ct scan scheduled for Tuesday June 3rd. I am very nervous not only for the actual test but for the results. Hoping this doesn't require surgery but pretty sure it does.
 
What makes you think you have a fistula? Do you have drainage etc? Surgery isn't always the answer, it partly depends on the complexity, location, and medications. I had multiple fistulas which went on for a couple years, and was finally approved to start remicade, which took care of the fistulas without any surgeries.
 
I get the urge to have bowel movement and push a little a bubble comes out of my vagina and after bowel movement bubble goes away or gets smaller. I have discharge mixed with brown.
 
Hi Crystal. I have one and what you describe certainly sounds like one. I have had mine for at least 11 years. No surgery and the seton placement was only for a couple months. If you have question please ask - you can always PM if you would like
