A member asked:

I have a vesiovaginal fistula and was told i needed 2-3 surgical procedures to correct this, unusual?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is a very: Difficult problem to repair. You will need at least 2 probably three operations, but you have essentially no choice. Leaving this alone I am sure is not socially acceptable to you, and can cause infection and even kidney or electrolyte problems.
