    Pelvic Steam Testimonial Database

    Keli
    Keli

    The Pelvic Steam Testimonial Database was created by the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute as a place for steam users to share their testimonials. The database is based on a questionnaire comparing the difference in symptoms before and after vaginal steaming. To date, the database has collected the steam experiences of over one hundred steam users and is the only database of its kind.

    Pelvic Steam Testimonial Database contributors reported a wide variety of concerns that originally led them to try vaginal steaming. The concerns contributors reported related to menstruation discomfort, cycle irregularity, menstrual flow, menstruation side-effects, reproductive organ disorders, sex and reproduction, infections, postpartum, and medical interventions – showing a large range of issues. Their specific complaints follow.

    MENSTRUATION DISCOMFORT
    painful periods
    disruptive periods
    severe dry cramping prior to period starting
    debilitating cramps
    period depression
    vomiting during period
    missing work due to horrible periods
    inability to walk during day 1 of menstruation

    CYCLE IRREGULARITY
    missing period
    late periods
    long periods (up to 21 days of bleeding)
    long cycles (up to 4 months between bleeding times)
    irregular periods (10 days on/10 days off)
    heavy periods

    MENSTRUATION SIDE-EFFECTS
    menstrual fatigue
    menstruation muscle spasms
    uncontrollable body temperature fluctuations during menstruation
    severe migraines during menstruation

    MENSTRUAL FLOW CONCERNS
    brown menses
    black menses
    pre-period spotting
    heavy periods
    clotting

    INFECTIONS
    persistent and recurrent infections
    vaginal dryness
    recurring bacterial vaginosis
    watery/itchy discharge
    recurring yeast infections
    fissures
    constant itching
    chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs)
    Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

    POSTPARTUM CONCERNS
    postpartum recovery
    infected birth tear
    hemorrhoids
    uterine prolapse
    postpartum urinary incontinence
    bladder prolapse
    traumatic birth

    DISORDERS
    ovarian cyst pain
    ovarian tube infection
    fallopian tube scarring
    fibroid tumors
    cyst obstructing vaginal canal opening
    endometriosis pain
    vulvar pain
    Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
    chronic sitting pain from pelvic muscle tension

    SEX AND REPRODUCTION CONCERNS
    fertility concerns
    low libido
    discomfort during sex
    delayed ovulation
    recurrent miscarriages
    ovulation pain
    hormonal imbalance
    pain during sex
    miscarriage recovery
    Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related to sexual trauma, rape, molestation, assault, etc.

    MEDICAL-RELATED CONCERNS
    seeking an alternative to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
    birth control side effects
    extensive pelvic scar tissue after cancer treatments
    missing period after birth control discontinuation
    Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) recovery
    pain from gynecological procedure
    cesarean scar tissue discomfort
    hysterectomy side effects

    Contributors rated their concern on a scale of 0 (not bothersome) to 10 (very bothersome).

    RESULTS:

    Participants bothersome average before steaming was 7.89 before and reduced to 1.71 after steaming.

    36 participants reported a bothersomeness rating of 10 -severe discomfort or disruption caused by their concern. After vaginal steaming here is how those participants rated their concerns:

    2 contributors went from bothersome rating of 10 to 0
    20 contributors went from bothersome rating of 10 to 1
    3 contributors went from bothersome rating of 10 to 2
    7 contributors went from bothersome rating of 10 to 3
    4 went from bothersome rating of 10 to 4

    In all of the most severe cases vaginal steaming drastically reduced the amount of bothersomeness these users were experiencing to less than half what they started with. The majority of people with severe concerns only reported a bothersome rating of 1 after steaming showing that they experienced a huge improvement in quality of life.

    *This percentage shows the total contributors who saw improvement in this area however all of the contributors did not experience this concern. The percentage would be higher if it was looking at the improvement rate among people who had that concern only. For example, the statistic on back pain tells us that 115 people steamed and 34% saw improvement with back pain but we don’t know many had back pain to start with. We know that some of them did not so therefore they would not report that improvement. A separate study would be needed to determine the exact rate of improvement for pelvic steaming only as it relates to back pain. It’s statistically probable that it would be higher than 34%.

    QUOTES FROM PARTICIPANTS:

    “This is the healthiest I have been in my life as a young woman. I get up with so much energy and I feel I am ready to start the day. I feel very positive mentally. I feel great in my skin as I lost so much weight. I have no acne and my skin is flawless. I have better intimacy moments with my husband with a better libido. I also went from being an angry and anxious person to passive and relaxed. This is the best lifestyle I have ever had.”

    “I had given up hope that any “natural remedy” was going to help the severity of my experience on the first day of bleeding. The very first period I had after steaming correctly (according to my conditions, using a DIY tutorial to clarify the appropriate protocol for me personally), I had ZERO cramps. ZERO pain. ZERO nausea. ZERO temperature fluctuations. I felt like I finally had my life back. Let me be clear: I wasn’t expecting this to work, and I thought that if it was going to make a difference, it would take months for me to see the change. Not only was my first cycle after after steaming pain-free; it was actually comfortable and enjoyable.”

    “I quickly was able to recover, regulate and find balance with my menstrual cycle. It is the healthiest it has EVER been and I only wish I knew about steaming sooner. My PMS symptoms (bad cramps, back & body aches) are non-existent and my periods generally are now a very easy time. I finally know how to properly take care of myself and my gynecological health. I no longer get UTI’s and if I feel one is coming on, I steam and it is immediately gone. I feel so much better educated about my body and my health and am so grateful to be able to take care of myself in a natural and effective way. I also feel a much greater sense of peace about becoming pregnant as well as taking care of my body after a baby with postpartum steaming. It is a relief to have effective, safe and natural self and/or practitioner lead education and care for women’s health, wellness and happiness.”

    “For one thing, this totally relaxes me. I NEVER felt right after each cycle. I felt tense and like all my muscles were bunched up. After the first steam it felt like whatever was tightly coiled inside of me and tense and sore and hurting finally relaxed for the first time in my life. For that reason alone I decided to steam again. Pain MEDS never did that for me. Absolutely amazing. And free.”

    “I no longer suffer with endometriosis symptoms and the prolapse no longer causes issues. Steaming gave me my life back.”

    “I feel healthier, emotionally and physically. I feel much less pain from my cycle and much less emotional pain (I used to cry all day the first day of my cycle) My cycle has gone from 6 days (the first and last day were not an actual flow, just a bit of brown discharge/spotting… to now being 4.5 days of only blood. My clots have reduced. My cycle now averages 26 days apart instead of 24. I got pregnant (our reproductive issue was low sperm count but I feel steaming helped me get pregnant anyway).”
