Could I have a vaginal fistula?

Quick history: tubal, hysterectomy, recent colonoscopy, current interstitial cystitis. The surgeries were 2002, 2004 and the colonoscopy was in December 2012. They couldn't get me asleep so I was moving a lot. Now for a week I have been passing gas through my vagina when I pass normal gas. Any ideas? So far it's only gas passing through. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you see your gynecologist for an examination.  It would be unusual to have a rectovaginal fistula without some type of trauma, vaginal birth, or lower GI problem, diverticulitis, etc.  J. Kyle Mathews, MD

Forgot to mention that when I had my hysterectomy, they tacked up colon or rectum, can't remember.
