What Is diabetic foot ulcers?

Open sores or wounds known as diabetic foot ulcers occur on the feet of people with diabetes as a result of impaired circulation and nerve loss. These ulcers are a serious side effect of diabetes because they can be sluggish to heal and are prone to infection. Medagg will help you get the best treatment for foot ulcers.

Appearance of Foot Ulcers

Diabetic foot ulcers can manifest as open wounds or sores on the foot. They usually have a pink, black, or yellow base and are frequently encircled by calloused or discoloured skin. Pus leakage, swelling, and redness can all be signs of an infection.

Pain or discomfort at the ulcer
Swelling and redness surrounding the ulcer

Gangrene: tissue death

Osteomyelitis: Bone infection.

What are the causes of Diabetic Foot Ulcers ?

 Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve injury (neuropathy) can cause the feet to lose feeling, which makes it challenging to identify pressure spots or lesions.

Pressure and Friction: Prolonged pressure from unsuitable footwear or friction, particularly in cases where sensitivity is compromised, can cause skin deterioration and the development of ulcers.

Infection: Individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to infections, which makes the healing of minor wounds more difficult.

 Foot Deformities: Pressure points and ulcers can be more likely to occur in people with foot deformities such as Charcot foot, hammertoes and bunions.

Smoking: Smoking increases the incidence of ulcers and their consequences by reducing blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues.

Smoking: Smoking increases the incidence of ulcers and their consequences by reducing blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues.

 Poorly Managed Blood Glucose: Blood sugar imbalances can raise the risk of problems and impede the body’s natural healing processes.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment

Wound Care: In order to stop an infection, it’s imperative to keep the ulcer clean and appropriately wrapped. Regular cleaning, debridement and specialty dressings should be required for this.

Offloading: In order for the ulcer to heal, pressure must be released. This may involve using customized orthotic devices, special footwear & crutches.

Infection Control: Antibiotics or other suitable therapies are required if an infection is detected.

Vascular Assessment: It may be necessary to assess and enhance blood flow to the impacted location, frequently by performing a bypass or angioplasty.

Footwear and Orthotics:  Wearing appropriate shoes and orthopedic devices can help to more evenly distribute pressure and stop pressure ulcers in the future.

Regular Follow-Up: To make sure the ulcer is healing and to treat any issues or concerns, it is imperative to check the patient continuously and follow-up with healthcare specialists. 

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Surgery

Last Resort: Amputation is considered when the ulcer is not healing, and there is a risk of the infection spreading, which could be life-threatening.

Partial or entire: Depending on the degree and location of the ulcer and infection, amputations can be either partial (such as amputation of a toe or foot) or entire (below or above the knee).

 Impact on Function and Appearance: Living a normal life and mobility are greatly affected by amputation. Rehab and prosthetic devices could be required in order to restore functionality.

 Prevention: To avoid the need for an amputation, early intervention is crucial. This includes appropriate wound care, infection control, and vascular management.

 Lifestyle Changes: Lowering the risk of foot ulcers and amputation requires controlling diabetes, keeping a healthy weight, and embracing a healthy lifestyle.

Minor injuries, poor circulation, pressure from ill-fitting shoes, and nerve injury (neuropathy) are just some of the causes.

Blood sugar control, appropriate footwear, routine foot care, and modifying lifestyle choices to lower risk factors are some examples of preventive strategies.

Although it's a possibility, amputation is saved for the very worst-case scenario. It can be avoided with the right care and early intervention.

Many diabetic foot ulcers can heal with appropriate care;however, recovery times and outcomes can vary based on the patient and ulcer severity.

    It's true that smoking can impede circulation and increase the risk of ulcers and complications.
