Vaginal flatulence

Vaginal flatulence

Vaginal flatulence ("flatus vaginalis" in Latin) is an emission or expulsion of air from the vagina that may occur during or after sexual intercourse or (less often) during other sexual acts, stretching or exercise. The sound is somewhat comparable to flatulence from the anus but does not involve waste gases and thus often has no specific odor associated. Queef, vart, and, in British English, fanny fart [cite book | title = Roger’s Profanisaurus Rex | author = Viz | id = 0752228129] are common slang terms for vaginal flatulence.

More serious conditions

Vaginal gas that involves strong odor or fecal matter may be a result of colovaginal fistula, a serious condition involving a tear between the vagina and colon, which can result from surgery, child birth, diseases (such as Crohn’s disease), and other causes.

A doctor should be consulted if symptoms of colovaginal fistula occur. This can also be a symptom of an internal female genital prolapse, [cite web | url=http://www.medicaltribune.net/dispserchcontent.cfm?pg=1&id=10476 | title=Correct assessment of prolapse essential (link dead as of 12 March 2007, last successfully archived 29 March 2004 [http://web.archive.org/web/20040329060048/http://www.medicaltribune.net/dispserchcontent.cfm?pg=1&id=10476 here] ) [http://web.archive.org/*/http://www.medicaltribune.net/dispserchcontent.cfm?pg=1&id=10476] ] a condition most often caused by child birth.

Air which is "forced" into the vagina, especially by blowing in order to cause vaginal flatulence during cunnilingus, can cause an air embolism. This is a potentially life-threatening condition for a woman and also for her child if she is pregnant at the time.
