Embarrassing queef problem

[Ismelllikequeef]

Name change because I am super embarrassed and I'm posting here for traffic.
Ever since I had my first DS 4 years ago I've had a problem with queefs! Doesn't happen during sex it only seems to happen randomly when I am at work of all places. Obviously with a fart you can hold it in but that's not really possible with a queef so it makes a noise, so far I've been lucky there hasn't been anyone near to me but is this it now? Do I spend the rest of my life at work afraid of being near anyone?
Has anyone else had this and how can I stop it! It's only a matter of time before someone hears and I will just die of embarrassment.😩
P.s I understand this is amusing and me and my husband also laugh about it when I tell him about it, but also I would like it to stop!

Can you just pass it off as a burp and say pardon me?

They definitely sound like farts unfortunately

I'm not sure biologicaly why that would happen. Maybe you need to see your (female) GP about it.
I would be doing those kegel exercises daily too.

what kind of advice are you actually looking for from here @Ismelllikequeef ?!

“do I spend the rest of my life being afraid of people at work” … no one on here is going to give sensible enough advice, see a psychologist

is this it now? Of course not. There’s your GP, there’s exercises and all sorts of things that could help, but yeah..

No advice but I love your user name

🤔

What I'm hoping to hear is that someone else has had similar issues and that kegals sorted it. I'm doing them but its making no difference. I can go weeks without it happening thinking it's stopped then it happens again

I’m watching with interest because I have the same problem. No pelvic floor issues, no kids but can’t stop queefing in the office. Rarely, if ever, happens when WFH, on the weekend, etc.

Could it be the angle of the office chair or something like that?

See your GP. Interesting user name btw.

After childbirth for some months it usually common to queef as everything has stretched out.

If it's been years and you have no other symptoms I imagine kegels are the obvious first try

I'm clearly the only one that had never heard the word queef in my life!

Does it happen if you have a tampon in? See your GP incase you have an internal prolapse. You might need to see a pelvic/gynae type physio for more specific exercise.

After my second child I farted a lot. No idea why, it's stopped now. Eventually I just said "pardon me" when it happened out loud. Nobody ever laughed at least 😅

Never heard of a queef, I've had to Google it. Sorry no advice there, I've never suffered from it. But as I've grown older, I notice that I can fart for England. So can my husband. Mostly our wind is odourless although maybe not so silent, but god help you coming near us if we've been eating sprouts!

Had to look up queef, in my neck of the woods they are known as fanny farts! I have them occasionally, normally after exercising but pretty random at other times. Tbh have never bothered me but I do live alone!

How is the air actually getting inside? Is it when you bend in a certain way? Or is it air getting caught between the lips?

Haven't a clue.

Whilst everybody is enjoying the amusement, you do need to see the GP because it is possible that childbirth injuries led to a small hole opening up between your rectum and vagina so that air is passing through.

Might not be that at all and it's just one of those things, but it's worth making sure first.

We used to regularly visit a friends house and their sofa ( and obvs my vag ) would release one when I stood up . I learnt to cough and clench to help minimise !

I had a baby just over a year ago and for at least 6 months after she was born, I’d queef loudly several times when I got out of bed. I think it was the turning over in bed that caused the air. It seems to have stopped now though

Have you recently had a new baby?

It could be things are just a little loose down there and need the muscles to tighten up again. Stick with the kegels. The nhs app is good.

Be careful how you move around. Do you bend a lot? Or kneel down in a squat position? The air has to be getting in there somehow and if it's in there it's going to come out whether you like it or now.

Go and see a pelvic physio they specialise in this type of thing.

God that me snort. Not queef just snort.

Thank you for advice all, I'm going to up the kegals and I'll look into a pelvic floor physio . Love the humour and the serious replies too.
I'll admit I've been too embarrassed to speak to the GP

Where do I pick up my crown😂
