Air in vagina

Air in vagina

Share

If you have oral sex, air should not be blown into your vagina. This can cause an air embolism or an air bubble to get in your bloodstream and block a blood vessel. This is extremely uncommon, but can be fatal to you and your baby.

How long it usually lasts:

Chronic (lasts years to lifelong)

How common it is:

Rare
