When having sexual intercourse with a partner, you and your partner definitely want to do some variations to make sex more attractive. There is nothing wrong with it, but you need to know that some things that seem normal can, in fact, be dangerous. For example, when engaging in oral sex, blowing your vagina may seem trivial and "seductive", but there are many risks behind it.
What happens when we blow on the vagina?
Here are some conditions that might occur if someone blows on the vagina with strong force:
1. Air embolism
Vaginal blowing can cause a condition called air embolism. Indeed, cases like this rarely occur, because air embolism can occur if there is a wound in the vagina or uterus. Air embolism often occurs due to abnormal air in the cardiovascular system. Usually this condition is more likely in women whose pelvic vessels are enlarged due to trauma or pregnancy. Air that is blown into the vagina can cause air to enter the blood vessels, and there is a risk of blockage.
These air bubbles not only enter the blood vessels, but can also travel to the brain, lungs, and fatally enter the heart. The risks that arise when air bubbles enter the heart are heart attack and stroke. In addition, respiratory failure can occur.
This condition of air bubbles in the body can not only be caused by blowing the vagina, but can also occur as a result of surgical and injection procedures, as well as trauma to the lungs. Symptoms of a severe air embolism include difficulty breathing, chest pain, joint pain, stroke, loss of consciousness, and low blood pressure.
When you are detected as having an air embolism, the doctor will direct you to the correct sitting position to help stop the air embolism from affecting the brain, heart, and lungs. In severe cases, surgery can be an alternative to treat air embolism.
2. Pneumoperitoneum
Apart from air embolism, another risk is pneumoperitoneum, which is free gas trapped in the peritoneal cavity (the membrane that lines the abdominal and pelvic cavities), but outside the intestinal lumen. One of the causes of pneumoperitoneum is blowing air in the vagina. You or your partner may want to playfully kiss your vagina by blowing air, to give a woman a pleasant sensation. However, sometimes the air that was blown was countless. Maybe you and your partner feel that the air has no effect. In fact, without realizing it, this air can enter a large amount. The air finds its way to the uterus, spreads through the fallopian tubes, then into the stomach, and eventually a pneumoperitoneum occurs.
The condition of pneumoperitoneum is associated with the potential danger of perforation, aka perforation of the intestine. Apart from being caused by blowing the vagina, this condition can also occur in:
- Patients who have undergone a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
- Women are pregnant and have just given birth.
Blowing on the vagina while a woman is pregnant can also cause large amounts of air to enter the uterine veins, resulting in a deadly air embolism.
How fatal is the impact of blowing air on the vagina?
The severity of the blockage depends on which part of the body is affected by the supply of blood vessels containing air bubbles, for example:
- You may lose consciousness suddenly, if the bubble is drained by an artery to the brain. Apart from losing consciousness, seizures and strokes can also occur.
- If air bubbles are present in the coronary arteries, this can cause a heart attack, or an abnormal heartbeat.
- When air embolism occurs in the pulmonary veins, it can cause pulmonary embolism.
So, is it okay to blow your vagina or not?
Not only through oral sex which involves blowing into the vagina, but there are also several sex positions that can trigger air embolism, it can also be done by inserting a finger into the vagina. So, when you or your partner feel a pleasant sensation when the vagina is given puffs, remember the risks posed again. While small amounts of air are not too risky, we cannot measure the exact amount of air that enters.
