what is the right feeling after acupuncture treatment?

I went under acupuncture treatment for about 3 months for enlarged ovaries. Lately the treatment became really bloody, the needles cause big bumps and bruises on the legs around knee area. I feel some discomfort when I walk after the treatment. When I asked my physician, she told me that bleeding is good for my recovery. Is this right? I thought acupuncture should increase blood circulation, with a needle in the middle of the vein, it could cause blood clot in the vein.

I know nothing about traditional Chinese medicine nor western medicine. Could someone help me?

    There are times during acupuncture treatments that you will experience small amounts of bleeding at a needle sight upon removal of the needle and certainly little or no discomfort thereafter. There is a sense of euphoria and well-being after the treatments. Long story shortened, you should try another acupuncturist, since everyone has a different touch. Good luck!
