Abstract
Intravaginal leech application is a traditional medical practice used in some cultures to treat various gynecological conditions. Leeches are believed to improve blood circulation and promote healing in the affected area. Studies have shown that the bioactive substances injected by leeches, when their mechanisms of action are examined, can be used in the treatment of many diseases. In this case report, we present a case of vaginal bleeding after intravaginal leech application.
