Rectovaginal fistula is a very distressing problem for women. The successful management of this problem depends on the etiology, size and location of both fistula, as well as assessing the competence of the continence mechanism. It may be acquired and congenital, the most common causes are obstetrical injury. Coital injury is very rare cause of recto vaginal fistula.
