Hello,
A rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between rectum and vagina. Treatment for a rectovaginal fistula depends on its cause, size, location and effect on surrounding tissues. Tretament options include wait and watch technique, medications like antibiotics if it is infected or surgery to close or repair the abnormal connection. Before an operation can be done, the skin and other tissue around the fistula must be healthy, with no signs of infection or inflammation. I suggest you to get it evaluated from a surgeon to decide the best treatment option for it.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
