Abstract

Vesicouterine fistula is a rare disease that comprises 1 to 4% of all reported urogenital fistulas. Repeated cesarean section may be related to the formation of vesicouterine fistula. We experienced a case of vesicouterine fistula, and the patient's symptom was gross hematuria during her mensturation period after repeated cesarean section.

Keywords: Cesarean section, Vesicouterine fistula
