Understanding Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment

Diabetic foot ulcer treatment combines advanced wound care, infection control, and reconstructive techniques to heal ulcers and prevent amputation.

Causes

Diabetic foot ulcers develop when high blood sugar damages nerves (neuropathy) and reduces blood flow, so minor injuries go unnoticed and heal poorly. Pressure points, poor footwear, and infection then allow small wounds to break down into chronic ulcers.

Symptoms

Warning signs include numbness or tingling, non-healing sores, drainage or a foul odour, redness, swelling, or darkened skin around a wound. Because of nerve damage, these ulcers are often painless, which delays detection.

Diagnosis

Dr. Sunil Rathor assesses the ulcer’s depth, circulation, and signs of infection, and checks nerve sensation and blood flow with supporting investigations. This guides a comprehensive plan — debridement, offloading, infection control, and reconstructive surgery when needed — to save the foot.
