Bækkenindgangen

Bækkenindgangen refers to a type of natural or artificial opening that allows water to flow into the pelvic cavity. This condition is also known as a vesicouterine fistula, where an abnormal connection forms between the bladder and the uterus.

Bækkenindgangen is often the result of a traumatic injury or surgical complications, such as a cesarean section. It can also be caused by infections, such as a pelvic abscess, that destroy the tissue separating the bladder and the uterus. In some cases, it may be congenital, where an abnormal opening is present at birth.

The symptoms of bækkenindgangen may include frequent urination, pain during menstruation, and difficulty in controlling urine flow. In some cases, individuals may experience the loss of urine into the vagina or onto clothing. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging tests, such as ultrasound or CT scans, and urinalysis to confirm the presence of urine in the vaginal secretions.

Treatment for bækkenindgangen typically involves surgical intervention to close the abnormal opening. This may involve a procedure called a vesicouterine fistula repair, where the bladder and uterus are surgically separated. Other treatments may include antibiotics to manage or prevent infections. In some cases, urodynamic tests may be necessary to assess the proper functioning of the bladder and urinary tract after surgery.

While bækkenindgangen is a relatively rare condition, it is essential to seek medical attention to manage symptoms and prevent further complications. Individuals experiencing symptoms should consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
