labour.

“VVF, also called fistula, is an abnormal opening between the bladder and the vagina that results in continuous and unremitting urinary

“The only way to fix VVF is with surgery to close the opening but sometimes, additional procedures are needed to correct the original

cause of the problem, such as damage to the bladder. Surgery to correct VVF is generally successful.”
