| What is VVF and RVF? Patients who have VVF and/or RVF leak urine or stool or both continuously and they cannot stop it. They smell of urine or stool all the time. Usually during a difficult childbirth a woman gets injured in her private parts. If the injury involves the urinary bladder or rectum, a hole may develop between the bladder/rectum and vagina which leaks urine and/or stool continuously. |
