Your doctor might describe the condition as a hole in your vagina that allows stool or urine to pass through your vagina. <\/p>\n<p>Vaginal fistulas can develop as a result of an injury, a surgery, an infection or radiation treatment. Whatever the cause of your fistula, you may need to have it closed by a surgeon to restore normal function. <\/p>\n<p>There are several types of vaginal fistulas: <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Vesicovaginal fistula<\/strong>. Also called a bladder fistula, this opening occurs between your vagina and urinary bladder and is the type that doctors see most often.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Ureterovaginal fistula<\/strong>. This type of fistula happens when the abnormal opening develops between your vagina and the ducts that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder (ureters).<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Urethrovaginal fistula<\/strong>. In this type of fistula, also called a urethral fistula, the opening occurs between your vagina and the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra).<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Rectovaginal fistula<\/strong>. In this type of fistula, also known as a rectal fistula, the opening is between your vagina and the lower portion of your large intestine (rectum).<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Colovaginal fistula<\/strong>. With a colovaginal fistula, the opening occurs between the vagina and colon.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Enterovaginal fistula<\/strong>.
