Fistula is a serious complication that affects women after childbirth. It happens when the body’s own tissue starts to grow outside of its original location. Women who experience fistula often have other health issues such as urinary or fecal incontinence, venous insufficiency, and partial or complete destruction of the urogenital system. Urgent medical attention is required when detecting fistula to avoid further complications.   Most women have bladder or bowel incontinence because of the high risk of fistula occurring during childbirth. Incontinence occurs when the organ no longer functions properly due to excessive pressure on it. For example, if a woman has fistula in her bladder, she may experience urine leaks while asleep or while standing. Fistula also causes fecal emissions since the organ no longer functions properly inside the body. Other complication that occurs more often in women with fistula include hyper-extension, impaction and a loss of sensation in the affected part of the body.
