Paragraph: The story notes the price "per squat" at various spas and the cost of a do-it-yourself Internet kit. We think the story's discussion of possible benefits is far too extensive considering the total lack of evidence to support them. We understand the need to identify some of the claims made by boostersof the therapy, but the story devotes some three paragraphs to seemingly every possible ailment the baths (or the herbs used in them) are purported to treat. It also throws in an anecdote from a woman suggesting the baths helped her to conceive at the age of 45. The caveats about chai-yok stand a goodchance of getting lost inthis avalanche of discussion about benefits. Aside from burns the potential for which would seem to be obvious we're not sure if there are any harms associated with herbal steam baths for the vagina. The procedure seems less invasive than a douche, which is associated with potential health risks. We'll call this not applicable. The story states that there are no studies that document the effectiveness of chai-yok for any of the conditions it is claimed to treat. It notes that while there is some biological rationale for why heat in the perineal area might be beneficial, it is impossible to say whether these steam baths do any good. The conceptbehind chai-yok seemsvaguely reminiscent of douching, a treatment that has long been promoted as necessary for vaginal health despite a lack of supporting evidence andindications of possible harm. But while the idea may tap into some of the same psychology that makes the normal vagina seem not quite clean or healthy enough, we don't see any evidence of overt disease-mongering in this particularstory. The story quotes twodoctors with expertise ingynecology and fertility. It also solicits comments from a practitioner of traditional oriental medicine. We don't think the story had to mention alternative treatments for all the myriad problems that chai yok can supposedly help with. But since the story suggests in several places thatchai yok increases fertility,we think a brief mention ofother approachesthat are supported by medical evidence would have been appropriate in this case. The story didn't provide this information. The story identifies several spas in Los Angeles and New Yorkwhere vaginal steam baths are offered. It notes that the treatments "are not easy to find" across the country. The story acknowledges the roots of chai-yok in Korean medicine.The approach is described asextremely avant garde in the U.S. a characterization which is probably accurate. Given the variety ofsources quoted, we can be sure the story wasn't based on a press release. Claim: Vaginal steam bath finds a place among Southern California spa options
We liked that this story points out early on that there is zero evidence to support the health benefits of herbal steam baths for the vagina, which are known in traditional Korean medicine as chai-yok. But we becameconfusedwhen the story explainedthat the treatment is almost totally unheard of in the U.S., even among gynecologists and fertility experts. If there's no evidence thatchai-yokworks and almost nobody knows aboutitor has tried it,what exactly makes this treatmentworthy ofan 850-word article in a leading national newspaper? There are limited journalistic resources to cover the seemingly limitless number of treatments that are out there. So we'd prefer to see journalists pursuing storiesthataidthe decision-making ofa significant number of health care consumers. A story about herbal steam baths for the vagina seems unlikely to meet this objective.
