Usually fistula in ano and that too with a small tract will not lead to rectovaginal fistula, unless it is assocoated with some underlying disease like crohn's or TB.
It is a usual course of fistula to present with abscesses that spontaneously rupture and the cycle repeats, unless the communication with the rectum is healed.
Next Steps
Confirm with your doctor whether it was actually a fistula in ano, or just simple perineal abscess, which is usually related with hair removal or superficial infections and does not recur at the same site.
