What should I do if I have vaginal flatulence after an abortion?

Abortion is usually performed after an unexpected pregnancy. In modern medicine, painless abortion is more popular among women because it can alleviate the pain caused to the body to the greatest extent. Although such technology is available, the number of abortions cannot be too many, otherwise one may even lose the right to be a mother in the end. So the question is, what should I do if vaginal flatulence occurs after abortion?

Vaginal flatulence occurs after miscarriage. Generally, it 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. In addition, this phenomenon also occurs when the vaginal wall relaxes.

Vaginal flatulence is a term used in traditional Chinese medicine

Vaginal flatulence is a disease name. From "Golden Chamber Synopsis·Pulse Symptoms and Treatments of Miscellaneous Gynecological Diseases". It refers to the symptom of gas discharge from the vagina like flatulence, or even with a sound. It is mostly caused by poor spleen function, dampness and turbidity blocking the middle burner, or dryness and heat in the stomach and intestines, blocked visceral qi that forces the anterior yin away, or by accumulation of phlegm and dampness. Patients with poor spleen function may also experience abdominal distension, pale complexion, shortness of breath and fatigue. The treatment should be to invigorate Qi and raise clearness, regulate the spleen and stomach, and use Shiquan Dabu Pills with Cimicifuga and Bupleurum. Patients with dry and hot stomach and intestines may also experience constipation and loud, continuous flatus sounds. The treatment should be to moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, and use Wuren Pills. Patients with phlegm and dampness may also experience excessive vaginal discharge and chest and abdominal distension. The treatment should be to eliminate phlegm and dampness, invigorate the spleen and harmonize the stomach. The prescription should be Juban Guiling Zhijiang Decoction with Atractylodes.

Modern Chinese medicine refers to the flow of air out of the female vagina, sometimes accompanied by a sound similar to farting from the anus, as vaginal flatulence. Many patients feel ashamed and dare not tell their husbands or doctors, so the number of those seeking medical treatment is far less than the actual number of patients, so it seems to be rare in clinical practice. But the medical community has equated vaginal flatulence with vaginal relaxation.

Vaginal flatulence and genital development differences

There are certain differences in the genitals between different races, the most significant difference being the degree of development of female genitals. Whether it is the labia majora, labia minora or clitoris, the labia majora, labia minora and clitoris of whites and blacks are larger than those of Asians. Is this because of their tall stature? Obviously not, because even if we compare people of the same height, whites and blacks are still more developed. For example, the thickness of the labia majora is less than 10 mm for 90% of East Asian women, with an average of 7 mm, while more than 60% of white people have a thickness of more than 11 mm, with an average of 11 mm. The labia majora is mainly connective tissue composed of fat, so the difference in thickness can be said to be the difference in fat amount. Even if you are tall, your labia majora will not be thick if you have less fat. A large number of surveys have shown that white people have the thickest labia majora, but most of them are obese compared to black people. However, even Asian women who tend to be obese are still thinner than white and black women.

As for the length, thickness and height of the labia minora, Asians also have smaller sizes. The average length for East Asian women is 5 cm, and the average for white women is 7 cm. The difference between the two is more obvious in the height of the labia minora. Even the clitoris is the same. Whether it is the clitoris, glans or foreskin length, it is relatively developed and small in East Asian women. It is common for Western women to have more than half of their clitoris and glans exposed, but this is only 6% for Japanese women. If we compare the width, the average for Japanese is 5 mm and for Caucasians is 6.5 mm.

Although the degree of genital development varies among different ethnic groups, it has nothing to do with sexual desire or pleasure. For example, Asians have smaller clitorises or labia minora, but their sexual desire or pleasure is no less than that of white or black women. Furthermore, differences in the degree of genital development do not mean that one is not sexually mature. The so-called measure of sexual maturity is the ability to reproduce. Being able to have children means that one is sexually mature, and it has nothing to do with the development of the genitals. In terms of physical characteristics, it is only the way of maturity that is different. In other words, each nation has its own inherent level of maturity.
