Rectal-vaginal fistulas
by PrincessKatie, Oct 23, 2009 01:29AM
I recently had surgery on my two rectal-vaginal fistulas. They took out the cetons that had been in place to allow drainage. Rhen they plugged up the tracts with synthetic fibrin. The goal is for the fibrin to start the scar tissue process and completely close them up. I did my do dillagence of two weeks bedrest but gas is now escaping through one of the holes. I am not sure if this is bad or really bad. The surgery only has a 60% success rate in Crohn's patients, but I really want this solved before ny wedding in June! Anyway, I wanted to hear from other women coping with this problem. So far no one understands but me what cetons are like. What having poop come out of your vagina is like! How you can't control expeling gas since holding it in just pushes it out the tracts freely. I don't want to bring this with me to my marriage bed!

The only difference is that my docs have told me that there is really nothing they can do for my rectal vaginal fistula. I have had it for over a year, but my GI couldn't find the opening when he did the last scope. He sent me to a surgeon, who also couldn't find the opening. They made me feel like I was crazy. They may not be able to see it, but I know it's there because it leaks all the time.
What was the surgery like? Was there any pain? Even with only a 60% success rate, I'd like to try something.....anything.....to try and make this stop. I am just so tired of feeling "not so fresh".......sounds like a douche commercial.....lol. Image one of those commercials with women like us standing around talking about our leakage. We could really promote for the hiney Wipee business.....lol. But seriously, I don't leave the house without a supply of wipes.....keys, cell phone, wipes...check, ready to go.
Let me know how things work out for you. And know you are not alone.
Love & Luck! :-)
