How do you know if you have fistula? What are the symptoms? Serious Answers Only?

What are some of the symptoms if you have a fistula? Is it possibly it is not a fistula when there is not pain when you pass feaces, and no blood yet you have clear sweet smelling discharge coming out?
If your female how can you know the signs if you have a fistula? Is it via discharge from the anus and vagina?

Serious Answers ONLY

There are a number of signs for that one. The ones I experienced was a sore spot in my gut right at my ileocecal valve, I was tired all the time, I didn't want to eat anything. Pretty much typical symptoms of Crohn's.

I'd know if it came from the female side because I'd have....execretions down there that I couldn't control. The sweet smelling discharge sounds like some kinda vaginal infection, something girly acting up. I could be wrong, though!
