What causes vaginal gas after childbirth?

Vaginal flatus after childbirth is generally called vaginal flatus. The effect of drug treatment for vaginal flatus is generally not ideal. It is necessary to do postpartum anal contraction exercises to strengthen the muscles around the vagina and allow the pelvic floor muscles to slowly recover. However, there are many reasons for vaginal flatus. Some patients with vaginitis will also cause vaginal flatus. It is best to go to the hospital to find out the cause and then actively treat the symptoms.

Vaginal flatulence is a particularly embarrassing thing for women. It is a condition in which there is frequent discharge of gas, similar to a fart, which is uncontrollable and usually occurs in women after natural childbirth.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, female vaginal flatulence is a dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. To put it simply, vaginal flatulence is mainly caused by vaginal relaxation.

What causes vaginal blowing?

1. Frequent sexual intercourse or multiple births

If you have frequent sexual intercourse, the vaginal muscles will easily become loose. If you do not pay attention to maintenance, vaginal flatulence is likely to occur during sexual intercourse.

In addition, for women who have given birth multiple times (natural births), the tightness of the pelvic tissue and vaginal muscles are often affected by the delivery process. For example, when two people are making love, the women's private parts keep making "puffing" sounds, and the women also feel a stream of air flowing out of them, making both parties very embarrassed.

2. Poor physical foundation

Women's bodies are relatively weak. If they experience premature birth, long-term illness, or failure to adjust their bodies in time after childbirth, their bodies will continue to be damaged, eventually leading to a deterioration in their physical condition. As a result, the spleen and stomach will become weak, resulting in serious loss of qi and blood. In this case, the spleen and stomach will be too fragile to function normally, so that the clear air in the body cannot rise and can only flow downwards. If the air flows out from the vagina, it becomes vaginal flatulence.

3. Liver damage

The liver is very important. It is not only responsible for detoxification, but also, according to traditional Chinese medicine, it is responsible for ascending qi. If a woman's liver is attacked by cold air, or if she is often depressed and her liver qi is stagnant, the liver's ascending function will be blocked. In this case, if the function of ascending qi cannot be exerted, the qi in the body will go downwards. If it goes through the vagina, it will induce vaginal flatulence.

4. Too much cold in the body

In such a hot summer, women always eat cold fruits, drink cold drinks, and swallow cold snacks in big mouthfuls. These behaviors make it easy for women's bodies to accumulate cold air. If the cold air that is taken into the body cannot be discharged in time, it will easily prevent the clear yang in the female body from rising smoothly. In a helpless situation, the air in the body can only go downwards. Once the air escapes from the vagina, it becomes vaginal flatulence.

Tips for women to get rid of vaginal flatulence

1. Find ways to exercise your vagina

Vaginal flatulence occurs because the vaginal muscles become loose. Regardless of the cause, if women want to improve vaginal flatulence, they need to make their vaginas tighter, which can be improved through exercise:

A. It is recommended that women lie flat on a mat or bed when they have nothing to do, lift their buttocks and the part below, and then put their legs together and lift them up into a suspended state. Then slowly move your legs toward the upper part of your body, bringing your thighs closer to your abdomen. Maintain this position for a while, then slowly return to your original lying position. If you want to achieve good results, it is recommended that women do this exercise at least twenty times each time and persist.

B. In addition, it is recommended that women lie on their backs, relax their bodies, and then cross their hands over their lower abdomen. Then take a deep breath into your abdomen. For example, when you inhale, let your abdomen bulge out, and when you exhale, let your abdomen sink in. Repeat this ten to twenty times, and do it two or three times a day.

2. Protect from diet

For example, eat some soy products, because they contain isoflavones that have similar functions to estrogen. This substance has good hydrophilicity and helps the body absorb more water. More water can increase the elasticity of the vaginal mucosa and improve its moisturizing properties, thereby helping to tighten the vagina.
