Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment in Goregaon

There are various reasons behind the development of diabetic foot ulcers resulting from several complications associated with diabetes. Such reasons include the following:

• Poor blood circulation: Insufficient blood supply may prevent sufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery to foot tissue and impair its healing.
• High levels of blood sugar: Uncontrolled blood sugar levels may increase the risk of infections in the body
• Calluses and corns: Excessively thickened parts of the foot can add pressure to specific areas.
• Foot deformities: Bunions or hammertoes can also cause foot ulcers.

It is better to consult Dr Kunal Arora for the best treatment at an affordable cost.

The diagnosis of a diabetic foot ulcer is more than just the ulcer. The assessment must include the ulcer and the risk of infection or deeper involvement.

Physical Examination
Diagnosing a diabetic foot ulcer typically starts with a thorough foot examination. This includes the assessment of the size, depth, site, color, swelling, drainage, and possible infections of the ulcer.

Nerve Examination
Diabetes complications may include nerve damage that reduces sensitivity to pain and pressure. Nerve testing may include using the monofilament test, vibration testing, and other neurological assessments.

Infection and Bone Tests
If infection is suspected the patient may undergo blood tests or provide a wound sample. Imaging tests like X-rays may be suggested to determine whether the infection has involved the bones.

Foot care is mandatory in patients with diabetes because of the presence of neuropathy which makes small injuries difficult to notice, and inadequate blood flow that slows down the healing process. Here are some simple tips that you can incorporate into your everyday routine to reduce the chances of developing foot ulcers.

1. Check your Feet Daily
Check each foot regularly for cuts and discoloration. Report unusual injuries promptly.
2. Appropriate Footwear
Wear your shoes comfortably and form fit your feet with no pressure areas or rubbing. Avoid walking barefoot especially outside and on uneven ground.
3. Manage Diabetes and Care for Your Feet
Maintain your blood sugar levels, visit your doctor regularly, keep your feet clean and dry, moisturize dry skin but not between toes and trim toenails appropriately.
