Woman having vagina steaming
A Specialist Obstetrician Gynecologist. Dr. Karen Renee Zu, has cautioned some vagina steaming to put an end to it because it could be detrimental to their l
The practice has gained prominence among women especially those who wed to sexual organ after having a baby or heal a cesarean section scar faster.
Others also engage in the act to cure ovarian cyst, fibroid, blocked tubes, deal with menstrual cramps, and detoxify the vagina among others.
This is usually done by mixing various herbs which are boiled or soaked in hot water which a woman is made to sit on naked to enable the steam go directly into the vagina.
But according to Dr. Zu, there was no need to steam the vagina after birth because the blood vessels of the womb could open up as a result of the heat and cause bleeding to death
She said the stitches could also fall apart if the person has an episiotomy or any other stiches
She said there was no proof that the practice worked or solved any of the problem for which they engaged in the act.
“There are so many claimed benefits like womb detox, clearing of ovarian cysts, shrinking of fibroid, hysterectomy, shorten menstrual periods, stabilise menstrual cycle, curing endometriosis and others which doctors can’t speak to,” she stated.
She said no trained obstetrician and gynecologist would make such recommendation to anyone.
Dr. Zu said it was a dangerous practice which could hurt a person in the process, adding that some have come with severe burns of their vagina as a result of the steaming.
She said the steam could damage the lining of the vagina and when that happened, healing could take a while and such persons had problems with vaginal dryness
“This can upset the acidity of the vagina. When this happens, risk of getting infections high. The steam kills the good bacteria in your vagina which survive at normal vagina temperatures. You will have problems with infections once they are dead,” she cautioned
She said in dealing with menstrual cramps, “one can drink something warm, place a warm water bottle or towel on your belly, add exercise to the daily routine or have sex before menses begin that would help reduce the pain associated with it,” she advised.
She explained that, if a person’s tubes were blocked, no amount of steaming would open them or make them more fertile.
“Such a person must see a fertility specialist to help,” she added.
According to her the womb does not need detoxification because it takes care of itself by shedding it lining monthly.
Steaming your vagina will not tighten it. It will not in any way balance your hormones. These two do not go together. If your tubes are blocked, no amount of steaming will open them or make you fertile. See a specialist for help. The cervix is always tightly shut except during menses and ovulation to prevent infections from getting into the womb. The herbs don’t get into the womb” she clarified.
Dr. Zu also denied claims that vaginal steaming shrunk fibroid, explaining that fibroids were very hard and could not be shrunk by vaginal steaming.

A Prophet and General Overseer of Jesus Prayer Ministry at Ejisu Asuasi, Kumasi, and Pig Farm, Accra, Rt. Rev. Dr Mrs Grace Frimpong-Boateng, has urged Ghanaians to pray fervently to avert any disaster that would endanger many.
“God hears prayers, and intercessory prayers will provide your family safety and protection so you can live long and enjoy life in this world,” she added.
Rt. Rev. Dr Mrs Frimpong-Boateng was speaking with The Spectator in an interview last week.
According to her, she had a revelation that there would be a tragedy that will harm many people, however, effective prayers can avert it.
She said that the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) predicted another heavy downpour from Thursday to Sunday following the recent torrential rain that devastated Accra and other areas. However, strong intercessory prayers prevented the prediction, which would have been catastrophic.
She claims that whenever she shares something that God has revealed to her, she does not receive widespread support from people to join her in effective intercession.
As a result, she has urged everyone including members of parliament, cabinet ministers, traditional authorities, religious leaders, and other citizens to exercise caution and pray fervently in order to avoid premature death.
According to Rt. Rev. Dr Mrs Frimpong-Boateng the recent downpour in Accra which claimed lives and destroyed property was unusual.
“The sea was irritated because of certain rituals performed and caused it to spew forth, exposing the dirt.” There are still some rites in the sea, and they will definitely surface,” she disclosed.
“Let’s pray that God would burn and destroy the things that have contaminated the sea,” she indicated.

The Adentan Circuit Court has convicted a mason for stealing a four-year-old boy from Kpedze in the Volta Region and bringing him to Accra.
David Kpandoyo, 25, a Togolese national, pleaded guilty to a charge of child stealing.
The court, presided over by Mrs Angela Attachie, convicted him on his own plea and adjourned sentencing to July 14, 2026.
Kpandoyo told the court that he had gone to a drinking spot to consume alcohol when the child approached him.
He said he gave the boy some money, took him home, and could not remember what happened afterwards because he was intoxicated.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Patience Mario, assisted by Chief Inspector Jacob Nyarko, led the prosecution.
The prosecution said the complainant, Mr Bismark Gbago, is a 52-year-old painter residing at New Legon in Accra.
The victim’s mother, Ms Patience Ablordefey Afefa, is a 25-year-old hairdresser living at Kpedze in the Volta Region with the victim, a Kindergarten One pupil.
The prosecution said Kpandoyo also resided at New Legon, where he worked as a mason.
It said the victim went missing at Kpedze on July 1, 2026, at about 18:00 hours.
On July 3, at about 6:30pm, the complainant reported to the New Legon Police that he had found the four-year-old boy wandering around the area and that the child was unable to identify his home.
The prosecution said that on July 4, at about 4 p.m., the complainant informed the Police that after announcements were made within the community, Kpandoyo came forward claiming that the boy was his son.
The complainant and Kpandoyo subsequently went to the police Station to identify the child.
However, Kpandoyo was unable to produce the child’s birth certificate or lead the Police to the child’s mother.
Later that day, the police received a flyer bearing the name and telephone numbers of the victim’s mother, together with the child’s photograph, indicating that he had gone missing from Kpedze.
The police contacted the victim’s mother and asked her to report to the New Legon Police Station with the child’s birth certificate and weighing card because another person was claiming to be the child’s parent.
On July 6, the victim’s mother and her relatives reported to the Police Station and stated that they did not know Kpandoyo.
During investigations, Kpandoyo admitted in his cautioned statement that the victim was not his child.
He further confessed that while working at Kpedze, he stole the boy and brought him to Accra. –GNA
