GRAPHIC VID: Woman who saw bubbles in urine discovers poo had been leaking into bladder

The 72-year-old was told she had a colovesical fistula, a rogue connection between her large intestine and bladder.

Doctors told her one of the major symptoms of the fistulas, which is considered rare, is seeing bubbles in your urine.

A fistula is an abnormal channel, tunnel or passageway connecting one internal organ to another, or sometimes to the outside surface of the body.

Medics have since released a gag-inducing video showing the faecal matter leaking into the woman’s bladder.

In the clip, the soft, yellow poo can be seen pouring into her fluid-filled bladder through a tiny hole on its surface.

Bubbles can be seen bursting from the hole.

The unidentified woman’s fistula issue is believed to have been triggered by an earlier illness.

Fortunately, when doctors did a colonoscopy they found no evidence of a tumour or polyps as cancers and inflammatory bowel disease may also cause a fistula.

However, they did find an “orifice that extruded gas and feculent material” in the bladder.

The woman was treated by having an operation to close the gap and to remove part of her colon and after two months, her symptoms had gone away and she recovered.

The condition may be painful and cause symptoms such as bubbles, blood or faeces noticeable in the urine, pain when urinating, diarrhoea or abdominal pain.

Her case was revealed by doctors at the University of California, Los Angeles, after she was relieved of the problem.

It comes after a radio presenter revealed he poos into his hands.
