Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems like you are suffering from rectovaginal fissure. rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between your rectum and your vagina allowing stool to leak from your bowel into your vagina. Treatment for a rectovaginal fistula depends on its cause, size, location and effect on surrounding tissues. It's important to have a rectovaginal fistula evaluated. Some rectovaginal fistulas may close on their own, but most need to be repaired surgically. Before surgery, your doctor will see whether the tissue is healthy or needs to heal first.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
