What's going on down there? It feels like farting.

When a couple is having sex, as the frequency of the movements increases, they will make some puffing sounds, similar to when the body farts. In fact, the main factor causing vaginal sounds is the flow of air in and out of the vagina. This phenomenon is more common in women with a history of childbirth. In addition, it may also be caused by inflammatory diseases, so it is still necessary to find the specific cause.

Why does it make a noise when having sex?

During sex, many women will make a "puff puff" sound as the frequency of the thrusts increases after the man's penis enters the vagina. The woman will feel very embarrassed at this time, and the man will also wonder if she keeps touching herself and loosens her vagina. In fact, the reason why the vagina makes noises has little to do with the frequency of masturbation and sex.

Some women feel air flowing in and out of their vagina during sexual intercourse, and even at other times feel an involuntary discharge of gas from the vagina, which Chinese medicine calls "vaginal flatulence." "Vaginal flatulence" is more common in women with a history of childbearing. Due to the relaxation of the vaginal wall and pelvic tissue, or the relaxation and atrophy of subcutaneous tissue after menopause, the front and back walls of the vagina are not tightly closed, so that air can enter the vagina. When the vagina contracts, the air inside escapes involuntarily, and this situation occurs. In real life, most of the patients are elderly women, but they are too embarrassed to consult a doctor.

Some women not only feel gas discharge from their vagina, but also hear noises during intercourse. This is because the vaginal walls are relaxed and cannot tightly wrap around the penis during intercourse. There is a certain gap in the vagina, allowing air to enter and stay there. In addition, during intercourse, the outer third of the vagina opens, and the gas in the vagina will make noises as the penis pumps. This situation has happened to many people.

Women are prone to "vaginal flatulence" after childbirth

A normal vagina is tightly fitted together, and the vaginal opening is like two tightly closed doors. However, during the delivery process, the fetus passes through the birth canal, causing the vagina to relax due to excessive expansion, or even lose its elasticity. As a result, the front and back walls of the vagina cannot fit tightly, and some even form cavities, which can easily lead to "vaginal flatulence". Generally speaking, many women can return to normal during the postpartum period, but some women cannot fully recover, especially those who have a prolonged labor, a large fetus, or a narrow pelvis.

In addition to women who have given birth who are prone to "vaginal flatulence", too frequent sexual intercourse can also cause the vaginal muscles to overwork due to frequent contractions, resulting in relaxation. When performing an artificial abortion, the vagina needs to be stretched open with tools first. In this case, "vaginal flatulence" may also be caused by vaginal relaxation, especially in women who have suffered repeated miscarriages.

Constipation can aggravate the symptoms of vaginal flatulence

Constipation can aggravate vaginal flatulence symptoms. Constipation can cause increased abdominal pressure in patients, and the abdomen will press on the vagina like an inflated balloon. If there is a small amount of gas in the patient's vagina, it will be squeezed out and make a noticeable sound.

In addition, "vaginal flatulence" may also occur after the vagina is infected with anaerobic bacteria, Trichomonas, or certain gas-producing bacilli. In this case, the airflow from the vagina is mostly weak, and the more important symptoms are increased vaginal discharge, vulvar itching or vaginal discomfort. This is because the microorganisms that infect the vagina produce gas during the reproduction process and exist in the vagina. When the body position changes or the abdominal pressure increases, these gases are discharged from the vagina. Doctors remind that when this happens, you should go to the hospital to see a gynecologist in time and receive treatment under the doctor's guidance.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "vaginal flatulence" is a manifestation of spleen deficiency. Women with postpartum disorders often suffer from spleen deficiency. Although the damage is not serious, their muscles recover more slowly. In the above situation, when negative pressure is formed in the vagina (such as lying on your back, inhaling, etc.), the air enters the deepest part of the vagina. When you stand up or increase abdominal pressure, the air is discharged from the vagina, often with a sound. At this time, you can take Buzhong Yiqi Decoction which is composed of Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica sinensis, etc. In addition, some women's "vaginal flatulence" is caused by liver qi stagnation, and they can take Xiaoyao Pills under the guidance of a doctor.
