Vaginal gas: Air passing from the vagina is sometimes due to normal expanding and contracting of the vaginal walls. However, this can also be a sign of rectovaginal fistula. If the air has a foul odor or there is any fecal material expelled from the vagina, see your doctor for complete evaluation and surgical repair.

May indicate problem: If you have given birth there may have been an injury that caused a connection between rectum and vagina (fistula.) You should be carefully evaluated by an OB/Gyn doctor or a surgeon to determine if this problem exists. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

?Fistula: A vaginal fistula may cause this. The vaginal wall may expand and get filled with air which gets expelled when it collapses
