Hi,
Thanks for the query.

The possible causes for your symptoms are:

The common cause is formation of gas in the intestines in the process of digestion.
In case of constipation or when undigested foods like starches, sugar etc taken this gas formation will be more.

The rare causes are:
Infection of pelvic viscera due to gas forming organisms.
Tissue infarction or necrosis.
Formation enteric fistulous track like recto vaginal fistula.
Reflux from adjacent hollow viscus etc.

Usually the exact cause can be differentiated form associated symptoms like:
In case of constipation you will have pain abdomen, difficulty in passing stools etc.
If infection with gas forming organisms occurs fever, pain abdomen and other inflammatory signs etc will present.

So you once consult gynecologist get physical examination and ultrasound done which will possibly find out the cause for your problem and treatment can be taken accordingly.
