Air/Gas bubbles in the vagina?

[Sely]

Over the last few months I've found that I've become uncomfortable - for some strange reason, it feels like there are air or gas bubbles sitting in my vaginal canal. I am 22 and only 'active' with myself currently. I have not gained or lost any weight or had any other health concerns.

Simply, one day when I went to bed I realised I felt uncomfortable, like there was a small air or  gas bubble inside my vagina, only 3-4 inches in. I try to shift around and nothing happens, and I've even tried to open my canal with my fingers and nothing happens. Sometimes it's hardly there and I'm able to ignore it, other times it drives me utterly insane with the strange feeling. There is no pain, but it just feels incredibly wrong. It seems to grow a bit more persistant before my period (I've been on the pill for 8 years), and is really not noticeable during.

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to relive this discomfort, I would greatly appreciate it. I've got a doctor's appointment scheduled late next month, but it's incredibly frustrating to feel like you've got a gas bubble stuck in there while you're trying to settle in to sleep. There is only a slight occasional odor, nothing more than normal, I tend to get minor yeast infections every 6 months or so, though I haven't had one since the summer. No discharge to make note of, either. I do have a dairy allergy so I can be gassy, is it simply possible that when I fart the gas bubble somehow travels up into my vagina and lodges in there?

I have the bubble feeling. Yesterday I was diagnosed with a stage 3 cystocele. This is the bladder pushing thru a tear in my vaginal wall. It is also called a prolapsed bladder. Glad that I went to the dr.  This cystocele will require surgery. I have already had one bladder tack and it didn't work. Not sure if this is your problem, but a vaginal check by a dr. will tell if this is your problem. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing.  I too have had this problem for many months.  I am 58 and have been celibate for quite a few years.  It means a lot to many others suffering from something like this that you've all taken the time to share an awkward problem that seems too insignificant to trouble your doctor with.  It creates a nagging worry and discomfort that something must be amiss.  It is logical that gases are created where there is bacteria so having read all the messages left here - I've now made an appointment for a smear test..something I've been putting off for some time now.  It's a process of elimination I think so I'll wait and see what the results of that are first before going into further testing.  However, the posting by "HeresHopin" seems a feasible reason so far and indeed, I hope she's correct.  To anyone reading this forum, I'd suggest biting the bullet, taking down all the information you've read here - and going to see your Doctor to at least eliminate potential causes.  That's what they are there to do. No-one has a definite answer so it's the only course of action for peace of mind.

You've been on the pill since you were 14??? Jesus, woman, that's just wrong. I get them too, but they come out. I haven't had sex in years, and I haedly diddle myself. I wonder what it is.
