I'm a 33-year-old married woman with a kid and have been dealing with recurrent UTIs once or twice a year. There's a small hole in my vagina since birth that lets feces pass, which my urologist says is an RVF. I never had UTIs before marriage, but now they keep coming back. Which medical department should I consult for RVF? Is surgery the only option, and what's the success rate since I've heard it can come back even after surgery?
