This happens to me too! It's like the fart gets redirected to my vagina. It always happens to me at night.
For me its kinda different, its the fart from the rectum but somehow it ends up in my vagina then out my vagina. , I dont know if if this is making sense
I understand what u have! I have the same thing I really want to go see a dr..I live with roommates and its so ember rising this happen after I had my baby and when I walk to the kitchen at night u could hear it too I hate it! I need help I try exercising but it won't go away??
This is quite embarrassing for me too. I have a boyfriend and every time we have sex I seem to have air while squeezing my muscles down there and when it queefs, it sounds so bad. Last night it even happened when I was vibrating my clitoris. I wonder why we girls have to go through all these troubles. Please guide me what to do because I feel so embarrassed that sometimes I think to just give up the sex with my partner.
Yes, you should see your gyno. This is a common symptom that they are trained to investigate. I agree that a normal relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles can contribute. Also, many doctors prescribe estrogen gel to be used in the vagaina. The idea is that as women get older their estrogen levels decline, and this causes a relaxing of the pelvic muscles. Applying the estrogen gel can firm up these muscles locally without putting a bunch of estrogen into the rest of your body, which can increase risk of vascular events like heart attack and stroke if taken for a long time.
Ask about an estrogen gel - it might be very helpful.
I don't get that when I'm going down the stairs or anything, but I can voluntarily fanny fart if I tense my muscles and sort of breathe in - what does this mean? Is it normal?
Hello,
Vaginal flatulence is an emission or expulsion of air from the vagina that may occur during or after sexual intercourse or (less often) during other sexual acts, stretching or exercise. The sound is somewhat comparable to flatulence from the anus but does not involve waste gases and thus often has no specific odor associated.
They even have slang terms for this... queef and fanny fart
Air is normally kept out of the vagina by the closure of the vaginal walls against each other. But due to the laxity of those walls, air can easily go in and out.
You could start a regimen of exercise including abdominal crunches, leg lifts and knee reaches as well as several hundred kegel exercises every day. this will help to strenghthen the pelvic floor and also help if there if there is any laxity of the vaginal walls.
The only reason that would cause a Red Flag / concern would be when there is a tear somewhere inbetween the vagina and and colon. Can happen to women after child birth, or after having anal sex, or there are other causes also.
Take Care,

I'm so sorry you are going through this! I think that your best bet is to see a doctor. I know it is kind of embarrassing but trust me, gynos have heard it all! It could definitely be a sign of minor pelvic prolapse. If there is a smell at all, it could be a small rupture between your colon and vagina. Blowing air into the vagina is very dangerous as it can cause an embolism, so I hope you don't practice that anymore. Don't worry, I'm sure you're not alone in experiencing this and a doctor should have some ideas to help you. Have you tried posting your question in the "Ask an Expert" forum so a doctor can respond?
