vagina farts?!

Body: 

Such an awful heading but it is what it is!

When I'm doing the yoga dvd in downward dog position, lifting one leg up my vagina fills with air and when I move again it gushes out and sound like a big fart!

Is it because of prolapse? Or a loose vagina? Is there something I can do about it?

Thank you

Hey, I just read a good post on this earlier today. Type in: When will this happen? In the search box and it should bring up a post by Alemama, if not, type in: Is this normal, and then scroll down to her post. The last paragraph will start as: Re: vaginal wind -- also, don't miss Chickaboom's remark just below Alemama's post. Informative and cute.

My computer savvy is nonexistant...I tried to refer Orange to the thread and posts above, but when I tried to check using the search box...well it didn't work like I thought it would. I have seen you both use a way that is much easier...with a forum number. Can you help?

Wait, went back after I posted for help. I found it, just needed to scroll down more. Still would like to know if there's an easier way. Sorry Orange, I am the B-team....tried to help ;-)

What I usually do is find the thread I am looking for, copy the URL, and then paste it in the post. That is how the numbers appear.
And, yes, vaginal farts are part of all this. As the vagina starts to close a little more as the organs move forward into the lower belly, the farts get less noticeable. I had them a lot in the beginning, but they have lessened over the year I have been doing this.
Before I knew I had prolapse, I used to get those all the time. Quiff, I think was the word used as a joke about old ladies farting from their vaginas. Wow! What I didn't know!!

Yay! There is an easier way. What we all didn't know...Quiff?! Hah!!! Must say this site is a learning experience in more ways than one. Am getting a whole new vocabulary as well. Thanks again.

Sorry spelled it wrong, quiff is a hairstyle. Queef is a vaginal fart. You can google just about anything these days.

Am laughing: Quiff-Queef...won't split hairs (pun intended) hadn't heard of either. I just figured out how to find the node number using your direction...had to go to a real computer, seems my tablet doesn't show that. Will get my son-in-law to take a look at it. I think I chased Orange off with my ineptitude...Orange come back, I found it: https://whole woman.com/forum/node/4187 brings up the thread Is This Normal? And then scroll down to When Will This Happen? And it was cute too.

That is a very good analogy, Arizona! Let all our hallways be closed!

Yeah, I thought she did a great job of explaining it. So now I know that when I start doing yoga, or firebreathing for that matter, I can quiffqueef away, that it's normal, and it gets better in time. Geez, must be my bedtime :-))

Hello!

Thank you for that. I am not great on the computer either and so I couldn't find the post you were referring to. ..I'll keep trying!

I like the term queef! Much nicer than vagina fart!!!! It's all about trying to take the ugly or of some of these things and give them some love!

The medical term for vaginal farts is vaginal flatulence. I have always had them even before childbirth and prolapse. They can be quite embarrassing but the only thing that works is when you anticipate the fart can happen to squeeze your perineum.

Hi Any,

In normal anatomy, when the pelvis is weight-loaded from above, the vagina is a closed, airless space. The back vaginal wall clamps down against the front vaginal wall. It is protected in this way from internal pressures squeezing surrounding organs into the vaginal space. This is why most of us do not have vaginal air unless we stand on our head in yoga class.

Your post suggests to me that you are in need of reinstating your lumbar curvature. When your tailbone and chest are strongly lifted, you will see that it is impossible to have this happen.

I can remember having these from time to time. But not since adopting posture. - Surviving

Dear all,
This has reminded me of a situation before WWP for me that since having children, when I went swimming & would get out of the pool, a significant amount of pool water would come out of my vagina, which was disconcerting as it could have looked as if I was wetting myself. The next time I go swimming, now that I am in WWP - I will be "relieved" of this!! YAY
Another significant benefit of WWP
Best wishes,

;-/ Me too! Ah the joys!
Hugs!

So, did the Second Wheel for first time last night and 'that' happened to me! At least I feel more 'normal' now;o)
