Fistula is an uncomfortable medical condition.
It is particularly common in women after a difficult childbirth.
And can sometimes be found in men.
The condition leaves a hole in the bladder or rectum.
It allows faeces and urine to leak uncontrollably.
And although it can often be fixed with surgery, many thousands of women are thought to need treatment across the continent.
This episode contains frank discussion of medical issues and surgery.
