Гирудотерапией лучше не пользоваться - пиявок жалко. Если Вы хотя бы раз взгляните на то, как они мучаются. попав в гипертонический раствор после использования, то. уверен, всякая мысль о гирудотерапии Вас оставит.
В лечении варикозной болезни очень эффективна гомеопатия и грамотно подобранная ЛФК.

Привет Евгений! Вы ещё с нами? В отличие от гомеопатии, эффективность гирудина достоверна... :)
ЛФК - лечебная физкультура, по Вашему вопросу посмотрите эту ссылку:

Leech therapy for complicated varicose veins.

Several methods of limb bandaging have been described to reduce the oedema and enhance ulcer healing in complicated varicose veins, with varying success rates. Leech therapy has never before been tried for the same. We evaluated the effectiveness of medicinal leech therapy in producing venous decongestion, reversal of oedema, hyperpigmentation and healing of varicose ulcer(s). Whether the leech selectively sucks venous blood was also investigated. Hirudo medicinalis (medicinal leech) was applied to the area surrounding the varicose ulcer(s) in 20 patients with varicose veins with complications and the patients monitored for ulcer healing, and decrease in hyperpigmentation, oedema and limb girth. The partial pressure of O2 (pO2) of 7 patients' arterial and venous blood was compared to that sucked by the leech. After leech therapy all the ulcers showed healing, while 95 per cent of patients showed a decrease in oedema and limb girth. Seventy five per cent patients demonstrated a decrease in hyperpigmentation. The mean pO2 of blood sucked by the leech was 40.05 +/- 7.24 mmHg, which was similar to the mean pO2 of the patients' venous blood (34.33 +/- 8.4 mmHg). Thus it appears from this study that the medicinal leech sucks venous blood and aids ulcer healing, and can probably therefore be used as an effective adjunct in the management of complicated varicose veins.
