What is – VVF and RVF?

VVF is an abnormal communication/connection between the urinary bladder and vagina while RVF, is an abnormal communication between the rectum and the vagina.

Patients who have VVF and/or RVF leak urine or stool or both continuously and they cannot stop it. They smell of urine or stool all the time.

Usually during a difficult childbirth a woman gets injured in her private parts. If the injury involves the urinary bladder or rectum, a hole may develop between the bladder/rectum and vagina which leaks urine and/or stool continuously.

A free medical camp will be held on June 15th- 28th 2009 at KNH to help patients with these conditions.
