A member asked:
Can ibs cause rectovaginal fistulas. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Ibs is physiologic not pathologic. However, I am assuming that is the correct diagnosis: ie both the ibs and the r-v fistula. See a colorectal surgeon for confirmation and options for treatment.
