Samera F AlBasri,* Hanan AlShomrani.

Abstract
Objective: To estimate the frequency and associated factors of vaginal flatus “wind” among women attending gynecology
clinic at King Abdulaziz university hospital.
Materials and methods: This prospective cohort study included women attending the gynecology clinic for routine pelvic
gynecology examination and used a non-validated questionnaire to investigate the presence of vaginal wind and related
factors.
Results: The cohort included 41 women who were interviewed by a physician after their verbal consent was obtained.
Their demographic and clinical data were analyzed in relation to the presence or absence of vaginal wind.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that vaginal wind is a common, but bothersome, symptom among sexually active
women. It may be associated with pelvic organ prolapse

Key words: pelvic floor disorders, pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, vaginal wind, vaginal noise, vaginal gas, vaginal flatus
