I believe I am suffering with a rectocele and a rectovaginal fistula. I am experiencing faecal leakage through my vagina during and after a bowel movement. I also feel as though I cannot fully empty my bowel and have to manually extract faeces that I am unable to push out. I am suffering with heavy vaginal discharge (slightly yellow, watery, no smell) and also now vaginal bleeding (pinkish). I do take my birth control continuously so unsure if breakthrough bleeding or related to bowel condition. This has all been going on since last summer; previous to that I was suffering from vaginal cysts and I wonder if these have caused the fistula. I have seen the GP once in my old practice who examined me and said I didn’t have any of these things, I had faecal incontinence and prescribed me laxatives which really didn't help and I knew the faecal leakage was coming from my vagina… the GP was so dismissive. I have now changed surgeries due to moving house and have finally plucked up the courage to go back and get things sorted, I have private healthcare so hopefully any referral shouldn’t take too long. This condition(s) is really affecting my confidence, quality of life and health anxiety. I feel disgusting and haven’t even told my husband as I’m too embarrassed. Has anyone else had similar health issues? Who did you get referred to? Thank you for reading.
