Vaginal discharge after steaming is an expected outcome, as steam liquidizes mucus and congealed phlegm. If either is present in the reproductive organs, they will often drain out within 24 hours after a steam session.

In general, it is great to work with a practitioner at first to be able to ask such questions. While a lot of internet resources recommend steaming as a DIY home practice or a spa treatment, there are a lot of physiological changes that might occur and it is ideal to work with someone who is experienced. Being under the guidance of either a Peristeam Facilitator or Peristeam Hydrotherapist who knows all of the signs to expect and when to make adjustments to the plan is really great for one to three months while getting started with a steam regimen.

For example, there are more things to expect as well – more clots during the menses which require proper period care protocols in order to make sure the steaming works how it is supposed to.
