Living with bladder fistula for 32 years: My experience with wearing diapers

The 59-year-old woman had been suffering from a vesicovaginal fistula for 32 years, causing uncontrollable urination and the need to wear diapers. Recently, she underwent surgery to close the fistula. The condition had started after an obstetric accident in 1992, leading to continuous urine leakage through the fistula, which became more serious over time. At E Hospital in Hanoi, Dr. Nguyen Dinh Lien identified the fistula in the posterior wall of the bladder as about one meter in size, causing infection risk due to the prolonged leakage. After assessing the situation, the doctors decided to surgically close the bladder fistula first and then repair the vaginal fistula.

Bladder fistula is a complication that can occur after various medical procedures or prolonged labor. It typically manifests as urine or stool leakage through the vagina and requires prompt medical attention. Doctors advise patients to seek treatment as soon as they notice any abnormalities in the urinary system.
