The vagina is like a collapsed tube. Vaginal gas is caused by air entering the vagina, being trapped and then expelled from the body. Vaginal gas is odorless but can cause embarrassing vaginal noises when air escapes causing the walls of the vagina to vibrate.
Causes of Vaginal Gas
* Vagina anatomy
* Pelvic organ prolapse
* Vaginal looseness (laxity)
* Pelvic floor muscle tightness
* Pelvic floor surgery
How to Control Vaginal Gas
Vaginal flatulence that doesn’t bother you usually doesn’t require treatment. Vaginal noises can cause embarrassment and sometimes interfere with regular activities and relationships.
3 Evidence-Based Vaginal Gas Treatments
1. Tampons
The first and most readily available treatment for women to prevent vaginal gas is to wear a tampon (Neels et al 2017) This method may be used by some women to reduce vaginal flatulence during exercise and movement related activities.
2. Pessary Devices
One of the most effective treatments for reducing vaginal gas is the pessary device (Sahar et al 2019). Pessary devices are often used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and they stiffen the vaginal walls. Some pessaries can be used during exercise and during intercourse. Pessaries are fitted by gynecologists and pelvic floor physiotherapists.
3. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
A. Pelvic Floor Weakness
Kegel exercises (pelvic floor exercises) are effective vaginal gas treatment for some women with weak pelvic floor muscles Krissi et al (2003), Hsu (2007), Miranne et al (2015).
B. Pelvic Floor Muscle Spasm (Tightness)
Kegel exercises are not appropriate initial treatment for vaginal gas with tight pelvic floor muscles. Kegel exercises can increase pelvic floor muscle tightness. Pelvic floor physiotherapy for pelvic floor muscle relaxation training may be beneficial to stop vaginal gas.
