What Is a Queef, and Why Does It Happen? - #15281
I recently experienced a queef during yoga class, and I was completely caught off guard! I had heard of this happening before, but I never understood—what exactly is a queef, and why does it occur? From what I read, a queef is when air gets trapped in the vagina and then releases with a sound, but how does this happen? Does it usually occur during sex, exercise, stretching, or certain yoga poses? Is a queef normal, or does it indicate any pelvic floor weakness or muscle imbalances? I read that women who have weaker vaginal muscles after childbirth might experience queefs more often—is this true? Are there any natural or Ayurvedic remedies to strengthen pelvic muscles and prevent queefing? I’ve heard that Kegel exercises, Ashwagandha, and Shatavari help improve vaginal muscle tone—do these actually help? If anyone has experienced queefing, how common is it for you, and have you found any ways to reduce its frequency?
