The essence of the method of hirudotherapy

Hirudotherapy sounds very intriguing and is not clear for an ordinary layman, but the essence of this treatment is well known and has been used for millennia. Giruda is a medical leech.

Hirudotherapy - treatment of diseases with medical leeches. The first use of leeches in the treatment of a person was not recorded, but even in ancient Egypt, doctors actively used gyroud in their practice, as evidenced by ancient papyrus and cave inscriptions.

Girudes give a comprehensive healing effect: biological, mechanical and reflex. Each of them is unique in nature and has no analogues.

The leech is attached and bites the skin exclusively in the biologically active points of the person, which is reflex healing effect. Similar treatment is provided by acupuncture, but it is inferior to hirudotherapy, since it does not have a biological mechanism.

When biting a person’s skin, the leech gradually sucks venous blood, while injecting its saliva, in which a whole gamut of healing substances. This exchange is called a biological mechanism. The mechanical effect is achieved due to the active rush of blood to the area with leeches.

Advantages and disadvantages of hirudotherapy

Hirudotherapy, like any other treatment, has both pros and cons. Indeed, the procedure for centuries has been carried out at home and, it would seem, does not require special sterility.

But it is worth recalling that earlier almost all medical procedures, including childbirth and most operations were carried out at home. The number of blood poisoning and mortality will be left to historians. Doctors came to a consensus that during medical manipulations, cleanliness, sterility and mandatory profile training of personnel conducting a particular procedure are necessary.

And here there are difficulties. When indicating hirudotherapy, the hospital is not shown, that is, the patient will need to visit the hospital daily. Due to the specific saliva of leeches, the wounds bleed up to a day and with some frequency it is necessary to change the bandages
If the patient lives far from the hospital, he will need to get a long time during which he can change the bandage in public places (a restroom in a cafe, or another place), where there can be no talk of any sterility. And then there is a risk of infection in the blood
Another unfavorable factor - sweat should not fall into the wounds. But having passed in public transport, you can both freeze and sweat. Therefore, for hirudotherapy, they never came to a consensus where it is better to conduct it: in a medical center or at home
If you have a car, or the hospital is located near the house, doctors still recommend the procedure in the manipulation. But in all other cases, the lesser risk of infection is still if you call the doctor to the house

There are also contraindications for hirudotherapy:

Pregnancy and breastfeeding time, period of menstruation, also postpone treatment until six months in the case of cesarean section
Any blood diseases
Low pressure
Anemia (it is worth postponing treatment until the restoration of the norm of red blood cells in the blood);
Onco-pares

Up to 12 years
