This paper summarized professor XU Runsan's clinical experience in using insect-derived medicinal herbs for the treatment of gynecological diseases. IT is believed that gynecological disorders are often related to deficiency and stasis. Insect-derived medicinal herbs, being intimately connected to blood and flesh, and possessing a natrual affinity for these vital elemenents, can attack, move, disperse, and are particularly effective at removing blood stasis. Clinically, insect-derived medicinals such as shuizhi (
Hirudo
), tubiechong (
Eupolyphaga seu Steleophaga
), dilong (
Pheretima
), quanxie (
Scorpio
), wugong (
Scolopendra
), muchong (
Tabanus
), wushaoshe (
Zaocys
), haipiaoshao (
Endoconcha Sepiae
), and muli (
Concha Ostreae
) are commonly used to treat gynecological diseases, including chronic pelvic pain, menstrual disorders, and tubal obstruction infertility. Professor XU has also used self-developed prescriptions, such as
Tongluo Decoction
(通络煎) and
Man Yan Ning
(慢炎宁), incorporating insect-derived herbs, obtained good clinical effect.
