Rectovaginal fistula

A rectovaginal fistula is a medical condition where there is a fistula or abnormal connection between the rectum and the vagina.Rectovaginal fistulae may be extremely debilitating. If the opening between the rectum and vagina is wide it will allow both flatulence and feces to escape through the vagina, leading to fecal incontinence. [Source: Wikipedia ]
