Hello Tammie,
The symptoms as mentioned suggests that you might be having Vesico vaginal fistula.
It is a condition in which a tract or passage is formed between the urinary bladder & the vagina..resulting in continuous involuntary passage of urine into the vaginal vault.
Most commonly caused by trauma to the wall between bladder & vagina (vesicovaginal wall) during child birth.
Management includes closing of the passage by repair of the vesicovaginal wall.
So...it will be better to consult a Gynecologist & do the needful.
There is no need to worry...the procedure is simple & you will be completely symptom-free after that.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
