Birth trauma, especially in cases of difficult labor or cesarean section

Diagnosis of Vesicovaginal Fistula at Helyos Center

1.Medical Consultation:

2.Ultrasound Examination (US):

Ultrasound imaging of the pelvic organs helps detect the presence of a fistula and its connection with surrounding structures.

4.Contrast Imaging:

Special contrast studies may be used for more precise visualization of the fistula and assessment of its severity.
