Here's Why You Queef During Sex. (Try not to Be Embarrassed, It's Normal.)

Vaginal tooting can be cumbersome seemingly out of the blue, yet it's not something to be embarrassed about.

Queefing, as anybody with a vagina will let you know, can occur at some inconvenient occasions: while you're engaging in sexual relations, amidst a yoga class or amid a visit to the gynecologist.

You may have heard a few people allude to queefs as "vaginal farts" (enchanting). However, while queefs do create a toot-like sound, we can guarantee you that queefing isn't equivalent to passing gas.

We conversed with gynecologists and sex advisors to study what causes queefs, a portion of the misinterpretations about them and why they shouldn't be as embarrassing as we describe them.

What makes you queef, in any case? 

Queefing is an automatic substantial capacity that happens when air is pushed into the vagina, gets incidentally caught in the folds of the vaginal channel (called rugae) and is then discharged.

"Queefing happens when a penis, fingers or sex toy go all through the vagina carrying extra air alongside it," Sherry A. Ross, an OB-GYN in Santa Monica, California and the creator of "She-ology: The Definitive Guide to Women's Intimate Health," told HuffPost. "Sex can include a great deal of pushing of the penis all through the vagina, ordinarily pushing additional air into an impasse space."

Queefing amid sex or physical exercises like yoga is normal and nothing to be embarrassed.

Certain sex positions, similar to doggy style where your pelvis is titled upwards, or suddenly changing starting with one position then onto the next, may improve the probability of queefing. Indeed, even non-sexual exercises, such as putting in a tampon or menstrual glass, rehearsing yoga (like when you move out of a reversal present) or your gyno embeddings a speculum can prompt queefing.

"From my experience as an OB-GYN, pretty much every lady has encountered in any event one scene of queefing some time amid her life, now and again notwithstanding amid a pelvic test," said Diana Hoppe, an OB-GYN in Encinitas, California.

While the gas that leaves your rectum may have a foul smell (a consequence of bacterial action in the gut), queefs are scentless, Hoppe included.

Would you be able to avoid a 
queef? 
There's very little you can do to stop a queef in its tracks. You can't simply "hold it in" like you would a fart.

Furthermore, as OB-GYN Sheila Loanzon told Cosmopolitan, "In the event that you attempt to get the vaginal trench to keep air from coming in, it can make sex be increasingly difficult."

Ladies who have recently conceived an offspring, specifically, might be progressively inclined to queefing in light of the fact that pregnancy and labor can debilitate the pelvic floor muscles. By reinforcing those muscles by means of activities like Kegels, you might almost certainly decrease your chances of queefing, Hoppe said.

"Likewise, when doing any stomach activities or weight-bearing activity, it is essential to press the pelvic floor while holding the center muscular strength tight," Hoppe said. "Numerous ladies press abs yet don't enact the pelvic floor in the meantime, in this manner enabling the pelvic floor to list, improving the probability of air going into vaginal channel."

Amid sex, keeping the penis, fingers or sex toy inside you while you change positions could decrease your odds of queefing in light of the fact that it "offers air less of a chance to get into the vagina," Jamil Abdur-Rahman, an OB-GYN and the executive of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Vista Health System in Waukegan, Illinois, let self know.

Furthermore, in principle, you could simply maintain a strategic distance from certain sex or yoga positions inside and out. However, what's the enjoyment in that?

When queefing happens, don't sweat it. 

So for what reason does this exceptionally typical real capacity feel so humiliating at the time, be it amid doggy-style or descending pooch? It extremely just comes down to that annoying commotion, Hoppe said.

"The disgrace is because of absence of understanding the distinction between arrival of air from the vagina and tooting," she said. "The audio cues might be the equivalent however, so socially there might be a disgrace or shame because of this happening 'down there.'"

Sex specialist Vanessa Marin underscored the way that queefing is ordinary, normal and "nothing to be embarrassed about." Embracing the ponderousness existing apart from everything else can even make sex increasingly agreeable for the two accomplices.

"Our bodies make amusing commotions now and then, and that is OK!" she said. "Additionally, there are a lot of other silly things about sex, such as getting sweat-soaked, slipping out, getting into clumsy positions, etc. The more we can chuckle about these sorts of things, the better time we'll have amid sex."

At the point when a queef slips out mid-sex, you have two options: disregard that emptying inflatable sound totally or rapidly recognize it and proceed onward. Marin inclines toward the last course.

"It's an individual inclination, however I believe it's smarter to simply rapidly recognize it and dismiss it," she said. "That way you don't need to stay there considering it, tensely pondering whether your accomplice heard it."

Is queefing ever cause for concern? 

For the most part, queefing is not something to be stressed over. While uncommon, if queefing is joined by agony or an awful stench, you should make a meeting with a specialist to preclude any progressively difficult issues.

"In the event that queefing is related with a foul scent, it might be a sign of a vaginal contamination or conceivable fistula, a [abnormal] association among rectum and vagina because of past radiation treatment or medical procedure that makes stool or dung leave the vagina," Hoppe said.

In any case, generally, queefing is an ordinary, if somewhat clumsy, unavoidable truth. So how about we not get so hung up on it, OK?
