If you take oral pyridium it will turn your urine yellow. If you then put a tampon in the vagina, then if there is a fistula, the tampon will turn yellow on the deep (inside) end, where the fistula is. If the tampon does not turn yellow, or if the yellow is at the tip or on the string, this is probably incontinence. Caution: pyridium stains permanently. You cannot get it off...
