They usually don’t write about this in women’s magazines, don’t ask at doctor’s appointments, and don’t talk about it at girls’ get-togethers. A woman who is faced with the problem of air leaving the uterus is often left alone with her, ashamed of her own physiology. It happens that air comes out of the vagina at the most inopportune moment, for example, during intimacy with a partner, which undoubtedly spoils any romantic mood. Let's talk about the main reasons for the release of air from the uterus, as well as ways to solve this delicate issue.
Why does air leave the uterus? It’s worth mentioning right away that the air actually comes out not from the uterus itself, but from the vagina. The main reason for the release of air from the uterus is, oddly enough, its entry into the vagina. This can happen while running, cycling, walking - any, so to speak, active “body movements” can lead to the release of air from the uterus with characteristic sounds.
All representatives of the fair sex should still know that the most common reason why air leaves the uterus is sexual intercourse. It is during traditional sex that the likelihood of air being forced into the vagina increases, since during arousal its walls stretch, and the partner’s penis acts as a “piston.” And, no matter how strange and ridiculous it may seem, the air coming out of the vagina during sexual intercourse is a natural phenomenon that should not be ashamed.
Air often comes out of the vagina, what is the reason?
If air leaves the uterus during intimacy, then most women experience discomfort, but most of them are really worried about something else. Imagine a situation where sounds characteristic of the release of air from the uterus are heard when getting up from the sofa, when coughing, sneezing, bending over, etc. In this case, you will not envy the woman, because being surrounded by friends or colleagues, it is not possible to explain the reason for the “farts,” which entails a feeling of shame, embarrassment and disgrace. This situation can hardly be called natural, because air leaves the uterus when no one expects it, including the woman herself. And the reason, as a rule, lies in the overextension of the walls of the muscular organ - the vagina and the muscles of the perineum.
Loss of pelvic floor muscle tone is most often caused by recent childbirth or a history of more than three natural births. In this case, the problem lies in the ligamentous apparatus of the uterus and, as a result, weakening of the tone of the perineal muscles.
What to do if air comes out of the uterus?
The release of air from the vagina is not a problem at all, but just a signal that it is time to improve the condition of the intimate muscles. With regular and complete performance of certain exercises, the abundance of strange sounds from the vagina will disappear forever.
So, to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, the following techniques are usually practiced:
1. “Kegel” and its gymnastics. Professor Arnold Kegel has received universal recognition thanks to a simple technique for restoring muscle tone of the pelvic floor. Kegel exercises allow you to train the muscles of the perineum anywhere and at any time, unnoticed by others.
The essence of the exercises is to make the perineal muscles “work.”
How to do it?
Compression. At the initial stage, do the following: squeeze the perineal muscles and hold for 3 seconds, then relax completely. Repeat the exercise 5-10 times.
- To understand which muscles need to be tensed, try to interrupt the flow of urine while urinating;
- The most comfortable position for this exercise is lying on your back;
- The longer you keep your muscles tense, the more productive the workout will be.
Quick cuts. Rapid contractions and relaxations of the pelvic floor muscles.
Pushing out. With this exercise, it is necessary to tense the muscles of the perineum as much as possible so that this action resembles pushing. In this case, the abdominal muscles should be relaxed.
Special exercise machines will help you cope with the problem of air leaving the uterus: a vaginal ball, a vaginal egg. In the absence of simulators, the author of the method recommends using your own finger: insert it into the vagina, try to squeeze as much as possible.
2. Simple squats. Incredibly, with the help of squats you can pump up not only your gluteal muscles, but also strengthen your pelvic floor. To do this, place your feet shoulder-width apart so that the toes of your feet are turned outward. Squats are performed at a slow pace, lowering until the thighs are level with the floor. A short pause of a few seconds in the maximum squat allows you to consolidate the result.
3. Vumbilding, or exercises for intimate muscles.
Perineal muscle training is so popular that there is a special name for it - wumbling. This practice covers a huge range of methods, from holding the stream of urine to special exercises from the personal arsenal of geishas. The use of special vacuum, weight and other vaginal simulators for wumbling is permitted only after consulting a doctor.
They say that by systematically performing exercises that are beneficial for the pelvic floor muscles, not only does the problem of air leaving the uterus go away, but also sexual life is transformed, for both partners. If air comes out of the vagina, despite performing exercises for the muscles of the perineum for several months, you should seek help from specialists.
Content
The passage of air from the uterus is the most delicate problem that many women face during their lives. Fortunately, this problem is not considered a symptom of a pathological process and does not threaten the patient’s body with consequences, but it does cause a lot of inconvenience.
The uterus is a hollow organ, like the vagina, so air can both enter and exit. Often, the passage of gas occurs unintentionally and at the wrong time, for example, during sexual intercourse or exercise.
Anatomical structure
The internal organs of the reproductive sphere in women are a communicating system. Thus, the vagina is an easily extensible muscular organ - it is a hollow tube with an average length of 8 cm, the upper part of which is equipped with a neck. It is here that the cervical canal is located, opening into the uterine cavity through the internal os.
The uterus is pear-shaped, suspended in the abdominal cavity and equipped with fallopian tubes, which in turn connect to the ovaries. Paired glands are involved in the formation of eggs and the production of sex hormones.
During pregnancy, the uterus undergoes changes and its volume increases. The structure of the organ also changes during menopause, shortly before menstruation and after the birth of a child. In order to deal with this problem, it is important to understand why air began to leave the uterus.
Causes of passing gas
Women at any age face the problem of sudden release of air from the uterus, regardless of the presence or absence of sexual activity. Doctors identify the following reasons that contribute to the accumulation and subsequent release of gases:
- intimacy;
- postpartum period;
- menopause.
Most often, air begins to leave the uterus when the tone of the pelvic muscles decreases, and sudden movements provoke an unpleasant phenomenon. Intense physical training, fast movements and jumping - all this leads to the occurrence of the described problem in women.
Some patients come to the doctor with complaints that shortly before menstruation, gases leave the uterus. The fact is that against the background of a decrease in the tone of the muscular organ, air begins to escape from the slightly open cervix, but this condition is not considered an ailment and does not require treatment.
During and after sexual intercourse
When air begins to leave the uterus during sexual intercourse, a woman feels insecure. Gynecologists believe that the knee-elbow position increases the risk of problems, so patients are advised to exclude this position and find mutual understanding with their partner.
The ability of air to leave the uterus has physiological and pathological reasons. During intimacy, the area of the cervix and upper part of the vagina expands slightly, representing a special reservoir for seminal fluid. At the same time, air enters the female genital canal along with the partner’s reproductive organ.
Air can escape from the uterus during intimacy due to other factors, such as spasm of the muscle tissue of the vaginal walls and frequent penetration of the partner’s genital organ. Among other reasons that explain the passage of gases, there is a loss of muscle elasticity associated with excessive stretching of the vagina during childbirth.
And also at risk are women whose activities are associated with difficult working conditions, heavy lifting and increased physical activity; it is especially dangerous to strain the body in the postpartum period.
During the postpartum period
Young mothers are often faced with a delicate problem, the solution to which is difficult to find, at first glance. While carrying a child, the uterine muscles stretch, and the developing fetus puts pressure on the uterus from the inside, which contributes to involuntary urination and the passage of gases.
After childbirth, a woman’s physiological sensations change; she experiences weakness of the ligamentous apparatus in the uterus, weakening of the tone of the perineal muscles and laxity of the intimate muscles. With any active movements, air can escape from the organ, but this phenomenon is not considered a disease, it only indicates the need to work on the body.
During menopause
During menopause, a woman's body changes. Gradually, the size of the uterus decreases, and its tone weakens; a feeling of dryness often appears in the vagina - such signs are characteristic of a decrease in estrogen levels. Since this hormone loses its strength, the vaginal muscles become more vulnerable and thin, which means that air easily penetrates into the organ.
With age, women should pay attention to the intensity of physical activity, which provokes the accumulation of air in the uterus and its release out. Lifting weights and strength exercises increase the frequency of this phenomenon.
Possible pathological conditions
There are additional reasons why air may leave the uterus. Doctors list the following factors as these:
- history of several abortions;
- problems associated with the condition of the rectum;
- cystitis;
- inflammatory processes in the pelvis.
The frequency of gas discharge from the uterus is also affected by a sedentary lifestyle and a sharp decrease in body weight, abnormal position of the organ and associated physiological pathologies. They can only be identified through a comprehensive examination.
Correction methods
You can strengthen the muscular system of the perineum and vagina without the use of medication. The main thing is to follow the doctor’s orders and regularly devote time to special exercises. Practice shows that the vast majority of patients solve the problem of gas rejection from the uterus on their own.
General advice is suitable for all women and does not cause difficulties. For example, it is necessary to use special lubricants during intimacy if air begins to leave the uterus due to dryness of the vaginal walls. And it is also important to lead a healthy lifestyle, avoiding sudden weight gain and excessive weight loss.
Physical activity must be adequate and not cause damage to the female body; light exercises such as squats and swimming are recommended to strengthen the muscles of the perineum and vagina.
Exercises
If air continues to escape from the uterus, you should use basic exercises to eliminate the problem. First, warm up your body through squats; you should do this slowly and try to stay in this position for a few seconds. To restore the pelvic floor muscles, Kegel gymnastics is recommended, based on training the muscular system of the perineum.
It is best to do the exercises several times a day, choosing a comfortable place and position. You should squeeze, hold the muscles in a tense position and then relax them; simple training coupled with physical exercise will help overcome the problem.
Surgical methods
Very rarely, patients are diagnosed with pathological conditions in which air begins to leave the uterus. Thus, in case of vaginal prolapse and vaginal fistula associated with the rectum, an operation is indicated, as a result of which the surgeon fixes the organs and removes their communication.
During the rehabilitation period, preventive gymnastics and physiotherapy remain the optimal method of recovery. Practice shows that timely intervention in the pathological process allows one to avoid negative consequences.
Collapse
The uterus is the main female reproductive organ. It is connected to the world by a special channel called the vagina. When a woman performs any physical actions, air actively penetrates into it. Then, at a completely inopportune moment, it can come out with a sound similar to the emission of gases from the intestines.
Moreover, everything happens involuntarily: unlike the anus, there is no sphincter muscle in the vagina, so it is impossible to prevent trouble. In a woman, vaginal flatulence causes a feeling of shame and severe stress. Why does air leave the uterus? There are many reasons for “air attacks”. Below is their description.
Air from the uterus - what causes it, when does it appear?
Vaginal flatulence manifests itself in various situations and conditions. The reasons are the following factors.
Sex
Most often, the vagina makes unwanted sounds when intercourse is performed in the doggy position. Air comes out during sexual intercourse because the part of the vagina that is located near the cervix expands. This happens in order to accommodate as many germ cells as possible. Also, during sex, gases come out of the uterus due to spasms of its muscles, or when the male genital organ scurries back and forth at too high a speed. To avoid vaginal flatulence, before starting sexual intercourse, you just need to lightly press your palm on the lower abdomen. This will free the vagina from excess air.
Pregnancy period
When a woman is pregnant, her genitals are more intensely supplied with blood. Therefore, the vagina seems to swell slightly during this period. During pregnancy, it is more difficult for air to escape from the uterus, and obscene sounds appear. 
Postpartum period
During childbirth, the vagina and cervix dilate greatly so that nothing prevents the baby from being born. As a result, the vaginal walls become flabby, allowing more air to enter. This happens especially often if a woman gives birth after 30. Air often leaves the uterus after childbirth in those who give birth to twins or more babies.
Days before menstruation
During this period, air enters the vagina because the tone in the pelvic muscles decreases and the cervix increases. The vagina begins to “give voice” even when a woman simply gets up from a chair or bed, squats or pumps her abs. The causes of the phenomenon are the physiological characteristics of the body. 
Fistula connecting the vagina and intestines
In this case, gases can penetrate from the rectum or colon into the reproductive canal and cause vaginal flatulence.
Aging and menopause
As a woman ages, the amount of the female sex hormone estrogen in her body decreases, the vaginal muscles become flabby, and more and more air gets into it. 
There may also be a lot of air in the uterus due to:
- repeated miscarriages or abortions;
- chronic constipation and intestinal obstruction;
- heavy physical work with heavy loads on the small pelvis;
- cystitis and other serious bladder problems;
- “shift” or prolapse of the uterus, uterine hernia.
How to get rid of it?
Traditional and folk medicine knows a lot of recipes that remove vaginal flatulence:
- Sex. The sounds may disappear if you use an estrogen-containing lubricant. It should be used 2-3 hours before sexual intercourse. The problem can also be solved well by applications inserted into the vagina.
- Postpartum period. In order for the vagina to become silent, women who have given birth need to restore the lost tone to the pelvic muscles. Special squats help with this (more on them below).
- Aging. Older women face not only weakening of the pelvic muscles, but also prolapse of the uterus. One of the symptoms of this problem is vaginal flatulence. To prevent the uterus from prolapse, you should start regularly doing special Kegel exercises designed to strengthen the muscle tone of the vagina.
Exercises to eliminate the problem
Here are the simplest, easy exercises:
- Compression and decompression. Slowly, gradually and simultaneously compress the muscles of the anus and vagina. Then we unclench just as slowly. Repeat 40 times a day for one month.
- Special squats. We place our feet shoulder-width apart and slowly squat. At the same time, we spread our knees in different directions. We don’t stand up, we sit with our knees apart as long as possible. We are gradually trying to increase the load. The exercise will help if you do it for 20-25 days.
- Sex and exercise. During intercourse, try to squeeze your partner’s “instrument” as tightly as possible with the internal vaginal muscles, and then sharply relax them. You need to do this 4-5 times in a row.
Traditional methods
The use of natural preparations will help maintain the tone of the uterus and avoid its prolapse:
Quince infusion:
- Pour one part of dried fruits with 10 parts of water.
- Boil in a water bath for several minutes.
- Cool to 37 degrees.
Drink the infusion like regular tea. It is an excellent remedy that restores tone not only to the muscles of the uterus, but also to the rectum.
Datura herb baths:
- Pour 20 g of dried leaves into 7 liters of water.
- Cook in a water bath for 15 minutes.
- Cool the broth to 38 degrees and pour into a bowl.
Take a sitz bath. Its duration is 10 minutes.
Such methods are contraindicated for those who have individual intolerance to medicinal plants.
The female body is special. He often presents surprises, and not always pleasant ones. Vaginal flatulence is one of them. But you can cope with it if you maintain muscle tone and find time for exercise.

Many girls get very complex when air comes out of their vagina during sex. The reason is the characteristic sound. It is he who makes the fair sex embarrassed. If the girl’s sexual partner is inexperienced, such a sound may cause him disgust, since the first thing that comes to mind is flatulence.
Anatomical causes of the phenomenon
The vagina is a hollow organ that can allow air from the environment or the gastrointestinal tract to enter if there is an abnormality such as a fistula. This is the opening that connects the vagina to the rectum. The defect can be either congenital or acquired as a result of surgery, an inflammatory process, etc.
Unlike the rectum, which is similar in structure, the vagina does not have a sphincter that can control and prevent gas from entering and leaving it. At the moment when the internal muscles of the organ are compressed, air can be spontaneously released, accompanied by a characteristic sound.
According to tomographic studies, the appearance of air in the vagina in most women is not accompanied by any additional pathologies. The process of spontaneous release of gas from the vagina is medically called vaginal flatulence.
You can expect this phenomenon at any time, but in most cases, gases come out of the vagina under the following circumstances:
- during sexual intercourse or after completion of sexual intercourse;
- after the end of labor;
- during the premenstrual period;
- when performing physical exercises;
- while going up or down stairs.
The escaping gases are not pathological and are not accompanied by an unpleasant odor. Therefore, this manifestation of the female body does not require treatment. But in order to avoid unpleasant moments, for example, if vaginal flatulence occurs in a public place, you can familiarize yourself with corrective therapy.
Vaginal flatulence during sex
If you understand why air comes out of the vagina during sexual intercourse, then you can try to prevent such a moment from occurring. But if a woman is constantly distracted by trying to prevent vaginal flatulence, she will not receive full pleasure from the action taking place. Therefore, in this matter, it is recommended that a man be more aware, so that the appearance of a characteristic sound does not cause any associations or disgust in him.
An anatomical feature of the female body, namely the vagina, is that at the moment of sexual arousal, the cervix expands. Such actions of the body are aimed at ensuring the most unhindered penetration of sperm into the uterus. The man himself throws air into the resulting expansion when he makes back-and-forth movements during sexual intercourse. This can also happen when the vaginal muscles spasm or as a result of performing certain sexual positions.
To prevent the passage of gases, you can use some tricks:
- before starting sexual intercourse, press on the lower abdomen, the pressure created from the outside promotes the release of gases;
- do not change position during sexual intercourse;
- refrain from the knee-elbow position.
Passing air after baby is born
During pregnancy, as intrauterine growth of the fetus occurs, a woman loses the strength of her pelvic muscles. Stretching the ligamentous apparatus explains vaginal flatulence after childbirth.
In most cases, severe sprains are observed during pregnancy with a large fetus or when a woman is not carrying her first child. If the birth process was complicated by ruptures, then the penetration of air from the environment occurs more actively. Under such circumstances, it can exit the woman’s reproductive organs even without any additional factors, that is, in a calm body position.
It is impossible to completely get rid of spontaneous penetration of air, but you can try to restore the muscles to their former elasticity. To do this you need to train them.
Other possible causes of vaginal flatulence
In addition to the above factors that contribute to the penetration and then exit of gases from the uterus, other circumstances may also influence this process:
- problems with bowel movements;
- inactivity (sedentary lifestyle);
- abnormal location of the reproductive organ;
- a woman's sudden weight loss;
- inflammatory processes;
- lifting heavy objects;
- medical termination of pregnancy;
- miscarriages.
If air escaping from the vagina is associated with loss of muscle tone, then such a deviation from the norm can be suspected based on the following accompanying symptoms:
- Urinary incontinence, which occurs when sneezing, coughing or laughing.
- Pain during intercourse.
- Frequent constipation.
- Frequent urge to urinate.
- Water enters the vagina. If this happens while swimming, then this is not only a sign that the muscles have weakened. This symptom should alert a woman and force her to pay attention to her health. The fact is that the penetration of water during swimming, for example, in an open reservoir, can lead to the entry of various pathogenic bacteria into the body, which can cause an inflammatory process.
It’s not just the birth of a child that weakens a woman’s pelvic muscles. The reason may be due to age-related changes, in which a decrease in muscle tone occurs due to insufficient estrogen production.
But not only sexually mature women who are sexually active face such a problem as the release of gases from the vagina. According to statistics, about 5% of virgins experience vaginal flatulence. This process is associated with congenital anomalies: disorders of intimate muscles, pelvic floor muscles, increased muscle functions.
In many women, gases from the uterus begin to actively leave the body before the onset of menstruation. Uterine flatulence is explained by the fact that before the onset of menstrual bleeding, the cervix opens slightly, but even such a slight increase in the opening is enough for air to enter the organ and then escape.
Ways to get rid of vaginal flatulence
In the case when a woman experiences vaginal flatulence and it causes her a lot of inconvenience not only during sexual intercourse, but also in everyday life, she is advised to consult a doctor about this problem. First of all, you need to make sure there are no pathological causes. After this, the doctor will give recommendations on how to restore the muscles to their previous tone.
Women after menopause during sexual intercourse may be advised to use intimate lubricants that contain the missing hormone - estrogen.
A unique tool that will help not only reduce the amount of air entering the uterus, but also allow a woman to avoid the development of many pathologies, for example, prolapse of the uterus, is muscle training. A special set of Kegel exercises has been developed for this purpose.
The uniqueness of this technique is that you do not need to set aside time to perform some exercises. You can train intimate muscles at any opportunity. To do this you need:
- take a slow deep breath;
- squeeze the muscles of the perineum and hold them for 10 seconds;
- Slowly relax the vaginal muscles.
If you regularly perform such training several times a day, you can notice changes after 1-1.5 months. There is a whole range of other exercises that help increase the tone of the pelvic floor muscles. Some of them involve the use of special items that contribute to the speedy recovery of the female body. There are special trainings that a woman can go to to strengthen her muscles and thereby get rid of many problems.
They usually don’t write about this in women’s magazines, don’t ask at doctor’s appointments, and don’t talk about it at girls’ get-togethers. A woman who is faced with the problem of air leaving the uterus is often left alone with her, ashamed of her own physiology.
