I have been dying to talk to someone abou this. Hi there. I got a cyst a while ago, and had it drained. Well after my gyno cut it and draned it I started to feel like I was passing gas thought my vagina. It was strange to me so I mentioned it to my doctor. I had 2 weeks of antibiotics and it I did not know how long it was going to take to heal. Well I had a cat scan done, an utrasoud of my anus and they found no fistula. But I still keep passing gas, and toda I had runny poop and I could swear when I wiped some came out of my vagina.. Dear lord help me heal me I dont want to have this, please tell me can the doctors be wrong?

I am suffering from a RVF and will have surgery soon I would like to know how it heals naturally. What herbs did you use. Thank you
I have also went to Dr. Ann Lowry. I don't know of any herbal remedies but would caution on another surgery. She did my first 15 years ago which stopped stool from coming through the vagina but gas still did. I dealt with it for 15 years and in December 2011 I decided to see about having surgery to finally correct it. I had the sphinterplasty with flap repair. Unfortunately the wound opened and separated from the muscle. After that I had a lot of bleeding and needed to get packed to stop it. This was the most horrible experience ever. This all made it much worse as I now have a perineal opening that gas and stool comes out of. I need to bathe after ever bowel movement. Also when I get my period the blood will also fall through the hole in my vagina to the perineal opening. With many peoples advice I sought another surgeon (not sure if this was the best decision) at the Mayo Clinic. I am 13 days post op for the same surgery and no luck. It may heal some more on its own but I'm not holding my breathe. So if you only have gas coming through then I would think long and hard about having the invasive sphintoplasty operation. Good luck to you its not easy.
sorry to hear that, i believe the doctors are looking in the wrong place, actually this is what happened to me, they were trying to find the fistula up in the rectum and they though that they should find a big hole, i've seen many doctors and I sweard to them that gases and stool are coming out from my vagina, but it seems that they thought am looking for attention.
finally one surgeon believed me and made me the operation, after the operation he told me that the fistula is very low and it is very small and it is called ano-vaginal fistula not rectovaginal fistula..
almost three months now passed since the operation but until now i still have the fistula, the doctor said that we should wait,, and am waiting
I advice you to make MRI because it is the only thing showed that there is something wrong.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. You don't know how long I've been scouring the web boards for hope in healing. Mine is getting smaller and smaller and I am waiting to heal on my own since mine is the size of a pin hole. Thank you!!!
Can you tell me if
Your problem healed ?
I was told I may have a recto vaginal fistula while in the hospital for diverticulitis & and a cat scan . I went to a gynocologist & he wasn't concerned at all because I'm not showing symptoms . Thank you.

I saw this post and I am going through this now. I don't think it's a child birth injury because my daughter is 28 and this has been going on a couple of months. It's such an embarrassing thing I am even afraid to talk to a doctor. It's just humiliating. Not sure how it would heal on its own. Seems to be getting worse. I don't even want to leave my house. I have no quality of life. I don't know what to do.
Can I email you privately? I have a few questions. Thanks so much!
