A member asked:

Can you have sexual intercourse with a rectovaginal fistuala? will it make it worse and make the tear bigger?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes you can: There is no reason that you cannot have a vaginal intercourse , it may be similar to anal intercourse.If the fistula is well established it will not change with intercourse.I am sure you are thinking of getting the fistula corrected surgically.
