Vaginal steaming can be helpful when there is a fistula (hole) in the rectum, vagina or bladder. Steaming appears to help clean the fecal matter or urine at the fistula site and disinfect the abrasion to allow the hole to repair itself.
To use steaming to help with fistula issues, consulting with a Peristeam Hydrotherapist is recommended. Ask your practitioner if they are trained in this area or go to steamychick.com and search the directory for a practitioner with this skill.
