Biology:Urethrovaginal fistula
From HandWiki
A urethrovaginal fistula is an abnormal passageway that may occur the urethra and the vagina.[1] It is a sub-set of vaginal fistulas.[2][3] It results in urinary incontinence as urine continually leaves the vagina. It can occur as an obstetrical complication, catheter insertion injury or a surgical injury.[4][5] It is also called a urethral fistula and may be referred to as UVF.[3][6] They are quite rare. In the developed world, they are typically due to injuries due to medical activity.[7]
