Air coming from vagina ?

Hi,
I'm not quite sure how to word this, but I've been having problems with air coming from the vaginal area.It's the same kind of thing that would normally happen during or after intercourse, except there is no intercourse involved.There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to when or why it happens. It's really just one of many problems I've been having, that I have no doubt are hormone related. Unfortunately,I have no medical insurance right now, and have to rely on medical care through the County.I saw a nurse practitioner recently, for a routine pap .When I tried asking her about this, she seemed to have a hard time controlling her laughter and said she had never heard of this before. Has anyone had a similar problem with air getting trapped "down there" ? I really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

There are a few reasons i guess. Sometimes it could be the way you sleep your vagina opens when its relaxed a certain way and air gets trapped inside and could come out during the day at any time. Also it could be the beginnings of a very mild infection, bacterial overgrowth could be a cause cause bacterial activity can create gasses or strange odours. My reason for it happening to me is because of the way i sleep and sometimes when i lift my pelvis to roll over air gets trapped and i can actually feel the air going in (sorry if TMI) its really NOT something to worry about at all though. Just keep a close eye on your regular smell and excersizing helps expell the "quiffs" as thier called.
