Air bubbles while menstrating
I have experienced an air bubble coming from my vagina here and there for my entire life and I know that's normal but, I started my menstral cycle a couple days ago and I always use tampons during my cycle. I noticed that tiny air bubbles are coming from my vagina. No air is going in! The tiny bubbles are coming out one right after another with no break in between all day long! There is no noise, no discharge of any color, no pain, no pressure, no unusual odor. Where is all this air coming from if no air is getting in?? Is there some type of bacteria in the vagina that could be causing all of this gas/air to come out? Or is the menstral blood causing these tiny air bubbles? I am completly lost on what's happening here. I have 2 kids ages 7 and 5. I'm 32 yrs old. Any ideas will help!
Ty for ur info. I'm doing good. The air bubbles have stopped when I was done with my cycle. The only thing I don't understand is how the air can be trapped in there when I dont feel any air getting in. Thx Doc.

Hello,
It can be due to vaginal flatulence which is the expulsion of trapped air from the vagina. A common method for reducing instances of vaginal flatulence is to strengthen the vaginal walls and pelvic floor by performing Kegel exercises. If it persists then a rectovaginal fistula and genital prolapsed should be ruled out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
