Bladder Fistula
Urine that looks or smells like stool may be a sign of a bladder fistula, an abnormal opening between the bladder and another organ, such as the large intestine or vagina. People with a bladder fistula may also pass gas while urinating or experience numerous UTIs.
Inflammation from diverticulitis or Crohn's disease is a common cause of fistulas that develop between the bladder and bowel. Radiation therapy also may cause fistulas, and cancer may cause fistulas between the bladder and bowel or vagina.9‘Bladder Fistula.’ Bladder Fistula: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment - Urology Care Foundation, www.urologyhealth.org/urology-a-z/b/bladder-fistula
