Vagina Farts aka downward dog dilemma or one legged down dog dilemma. What is a vagina fart? There are many things that can cause or create this. Generally speaking, it’s air that gets trapped and released. It has a lot to do with the abdominal pressure regulation. It may be beneficial to do breathing counter to what you are being told – exhaling into the downward dog position for example so cue the pelvic floor contraction and lift (aka kegel) rather than an inhale and expansion.

Other common reasons you experience the air release is prolapse (when the uterus is no longer in a typical upright position) or a tight pelvic floor. The pelvic floor gets stretched, allowing air in and then as you change positions or it contracts the air gets pushed out. that is getting stretched and air gets trapped. This can happen during sex as well and can be uncomfortable but different positions can reduce the occurrence. Hopefully if it does happen during intercourse you can laugh about it with your partner!

If there is any pain, smell or discharge that comes along with this than you should seek medical attention. Otherwise it’s a normal function of human anatomy.
