Vaginal flatulence

Description

The passage of gas through the vagina, often triggered by exercise, posture changes or sex.

When to make a doctor's appointment

Make an appointment to see a healthcare professional if:

  • Gas is passed through the vagina often.
  • Stool is passed by accident along with vaginal flatulence.
  • Foul-smelling vaginal fluid is released.
  • Vaginal flatulence lessens the desire to exercise, socialize or have sex.
