[Bening enterogenital fistulas arising from the digestive tract: three cases].
Fistulas between the female genital tract and the digestive tract occur after obstetrical, oncological, or post-operative complications. We report herein 3 rare cases of enterogenital fistulas: one colouterine fistula and one colotubal fistula in a patient with diverticulitis, and one ileovaginal fistula in a patient with Crohn's disease. Vaginal discharge was frequent and incited patients to consult a gynecologist. Better knowledge of enterogenital fistulas is necessary to enable earlier diagnosis and apply specific treatment. The incidence of colovaginal fistulas is increasing in diverticular disease because of increased prevalences of hysterectomies and diverticular disease.
