Brief Answer:
Ileus

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There is temporary arrest of the intestinal movements because of various reasons like inflammation, obstruction, electrolyte disturbance in the intestines. This causes gas to get accumulate. The most common site is the ileum which is on the lower right abdomen. Other reasons are gynecological in nature. Since it is relieved after passing gas I think yours is because of intestinal paralysis only.

A clinical examination and may be an Xray or Ultrasound would clear the reasons causing this problem. I suggest to meet a Surgeon or Gynecologist to understand the cause for this recurrent problem that you have.

Let me know if you need clarification.
