You relax your pelvic floor muscles when you pee. But relaxing your pelvic floor muscles not only helps your flow going but also allows the rectum and the anus to slacken. This can cause you to pass gas especially if you have eaten some gassy food in your last meal. Often when you exert intra-abdominal pressure to urinate, this same abdominal pressure may also expel gas from the rectum. Also Read - Gas and bloating troubling you? Try these home remedies
