Could a hole in the bladder cause infections of the colon in a man? How do you get fecal matter into the bladder?
My brother was diagnosed 6 months ago with diverticulitis. In the past month, had an attack of diverticulitis and bladder infections, both treated with antibiotics. The pain, pressure, constipation, frequent urination etc., have continued. His urine was brown. Yesterday the Dr. said the suspects had a hole in the colon is leaking into the bladder. FYI had prostatectomy robotics a year ago.
It is not common, but a person can develop a "hole" / passage between two organs. It is called a fistula. Surgery is necessary if this is the case. Best of luck.
