Steaming is not recommended within the first six weeks following a hysterectomy. After the initial healing phase, steam users have reported improvement with scar tissue, elimination of unexplained brown or irregular discharge, improved vaginal lubrication and less discomfort during intercourse. Some also report that steaming provides psychological comfort and increased connection with feminiity after the loss of their primary female organ.

There have been cases of partial hysterectomy where vaginal steaming has been helpful with resolving ovarian cysts.
