Ummmm so there's been a change, I now have stool passing to, only when there is extreme pressure from the back and then it seems to want to come from the vagina to, it didn't pour out by any means, but when I wipes inside the vagina it was the same colour on the tissue   what can I do??

Sally, I have a RV fistula for about 10 years now. I've never had a seton or attempted any type of repair on it. Mostly because repairs are difficult and success without any damage to the pouch is rare and my pouch was otherwise perfect in every way. My pouch is 21 years old this month! My fistula has never gotten worse in all these years. It is possible to live with them, although some people just can't. 

Got questions? Ask me anything.

C-jay.

Thanks so much for replying c-jay so good to hear you can live with it. I'm worried because some stool is coming through only when I have to really push to get stool to come out of the back passage, and the last few weeks I've had this intense gas pain which is unbearable and it's how I realised gas was coming from the vagina. I had a defacating pouchogram a few days ago and they told me I can't empty my pouch properly, then I have cuffitis and fissures to and I have a  pouchoscopy on Friday to check for whatever else could be wrong! 

Did you ever pass stool? And how do you manage it? It's been like this for  about 2 weeks now discharge and blood and some brown stool stain on the issue exactly the same as what's coming from the back sorry tmi, I'm just so scared I feel totally deflated because I've got so many other issues with my joints that I broke and had pins and plates out in and then avn in my hip and all sorts I just stated work 2 months ago after 5 years at home, and I've had to give it up because of his new situation, I just don't remember what it feels like to be happy anymore
