Hirudotherapy for infertility, fibroids and endometriosis is quite effective. It is advisable to place medicinal leeches on several points at once, starting from point CV 4. This important point is also called the vessel for conception. CV 4 point is extremely effective for chronic diseases. Because it is the intersection of the liver, kidney and spleen channels, the Conception Vessel CV 4 can treat a wide range of conditions. For example, this point of influence is also used for menstrual irregularities, urinary disorders and sexual dysfunction. In addition, it is excellent for helping with symptoms of menopause and intestinal digestive disorders.

Next, medical leeches are placed on the Zi Gong points. The name translates to "Child's Palace" and is often used to signify fertility. They are located in the lower abdomen, about a hand's width below the navel and a hand's width on either side of it. Zi Gong points are located on both sides of the abdomen and therefore it is advisable to place leeches on both sides as well. Zi Gong regulates the menstrual cycle and benefits the uterus and ovaries. In addition, it also helps regulate qi. Be careful with deep stimulation of this point in the luteal phase of the cycle if you are actively trying to conceive.
