Why did i feel air passing through my vagina in pregnancy?
Patient: Hello, Im a 25 year old woman and Im rolling up on my 9th week of pregnancy. During the night I woke up to air being passed through my virgina. Yes it felt wired and I was questioning and a little worried with this being my first pregnancy. So what I want to know is was that normal , why does that happen ,and of course what makes it happen too? Doctor: Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. Please do not panic.  It is not a thing to worry about.  It is due to passing out of air from the vaginal passage. In some women there is laxity of the muscles around the vaginal opening , and it gets more so during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. This leads air to enter the vagina and with change in position or increase in abdominal pressure while laughing or coughing it comes out with some noise . So do not worry. I will suggest you to get used to pelvic muscle exercise called as Kegelle' s exercise, this involves tightening and relaxing the muscles around the anus and vagina. This will help to reduce the problem .I hope this answer helps you. Thanks Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar.
