For women who are faced with gynecological problems, the choice of treatment methods is always a serious test. Modern medicine offers many solutions, including hormonal drugs, which, unfortunately, often cause side effects. However, more and more women turn to methods that were used in antiquity and continue to remain effective. One of these methods is hirudotherapy - leech treatment, which has proven effectiveness and minimum health risks.
Hirudotherapy is a therapeutic method based on the use of medical leeches for the treatment of various diseases. In ancient times, people already knew about the benefits of leeches, and every year interest in this method is growing. The main advantage of hirudotherapy over modern treatment methods is that the leech has a positive effect on the body without the use of chemicals, which reduces the risk of side effects.
The main mechanism of action of hirudotherapy is to release saliva leaks, which contains a number of biologically active substances. Among them are girudin, destabilasis, as well as components with painkillers, anti -inflammatory and antibacterial properties. These substances help improve microcirculation, relieve inflammation and pain syndrome. In addition, leeches help normalize blood flow and restore the body's functions, which is especially important in the treatment of gynecological diseases.
Hirudotherapy is used in the treatment of a number of diseases, including inflammation of the pelvic organs, chronic inflammation, polycystic, endometriosis, cervical erosion, as well as to normalize the menstrual cycle and treatment of infertility. This method also effectively helps with restoration after abortion and if the diseases are accompanied by nervous disorders or problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Leeches contribute to the strengthening of the immune system and the general healing of the body.
A pleasant feature of hirudotherapy is that after the first session the patient may feel relieved. The slope of the leech has an analgesic effect, reduces swelling and inflammation, and also helps improve mood, thanks to the release of endorphins. The treatment process does not cause strong discomfort: the leech bite is practically not felt, and the procedure lasts about one hour. After the session, the leech itself disappears, and traces of bites quickly heal.
However, before the start of hirudotherapy, it is important to consult a doctor in order to exclude possible contraindications. These include oncological diseases, hypotension, diabetes, as well as pregnancy and mental disorders. The doctor will also determine the optimal number of sessions and their interval, which is usually 2-3 days.
