Flatulence After Having Sex, Feeling Of Penis Touching Against Cervix During Sex. Thoughts?
Hello Dr. Narasi,
I am experiencing flatulence after sex. This has only happened with my husband, never with previous lovers, and only after we have vaginal sex in missionary position. The gas only happens after I've fallen asleep. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it? He is not of unusual size, but does insert fully, which I can sometimes feel against my cervix. Thank you so much for your answer. This is awful!

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Sexual intercourse in missionary position puts pressure on the urethra, rectum and anal canal.
As a result, there is urge to urinate and to defecate after having sex.
Urge to urinate is more common than the urge to defecate.
The urge to defecate is more when the feces are prsent in the rectum.
Flatulence is also due to the irritation of the rectum and release of gas.
There is nothing serious associated with passing flatulence after having sex.
However, you can prevent by ensuring that you clear your bowel regularly.
Avoid gas forming foods before having sex e.g. bean family, etc.
Penis touching the cervix is harmless.
It can be present due to deep penetration of the penis, however, it is harmless.
Thanks and take care
