Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment in Mira Road

Diabetic foot ulcers may arise as a result of various issues arising from diabetes:

• High Blood Sugar Levels: High sugar levels may affect the healing process.
• Low Circulation: Poor circulation affects the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to injured areas.
• Damage to Nerves: Low sensitivity in the nerves may fail to alert you to any injuries on your feet.

The injury may progressively deteriorate and eventually lead to infection. Seek professional medical services from Dr. Kunal Arora for diabetic foot ulcers in Mira Road.

Foot ulcers in people with diabetes often start from issues like cuts, blisters or thickened skin areas. These usually happen on the bottom of the foot or in spots that get a lot of pressure. When nerves are damaged a person might not feel pain so they don’t notice a problem until it gets worse. Also weak blood flow makes it harder, for wounds to heal properly.

Symptoms include:

• A sore that fails to heal
• Swelling, redness, or warmth in the affected area
• Fluid draining from the wound
• Pain or hardened tissue surrounding the ulcer
• Darkened or thickened skin near the affected area
• Colour change to the toes or feet (blue, purple or black)
• Chills or fever when infection occurs

Healthcare experts do more than just look at the wound when diagnosing a foot ulcer. They also look closely at the ulcer itself check the patient’s blood flow test how sensitive the foot is and assess how likely an infection is to develop.

This careful evaluation helps determine how serious the ulcer is and whether the patient needs treatment. A diagnosis usually comes from an exam and a few different tests.

Wound Evaluation
The doctor will analyse the ulcer’s size and evaluate its depth and placement. The doctor will check the skin around the ulcer for oedema or drainage.

Neuro Assessment
Diabetic neuropathy can result in loss of sensation that can cause undiscovered injury. Monofilament testing and other tests can demonstrate lack of feeling.

Assessment of Circulation
Healthcare practitioners will assess your pulse rate. They may use an ankle brachial index, toe pressure measurement or Doppler ultrasonography to assess circulation.

Tests for Bone Damage or Infection
Tests for detecting infections involve taking your blood sample and culturing your wound. An X-ray and MRI may be undertaken if the wound is deep or fails to respond to any treatment.

Preventive measures can help avoid pressure in vulnerable areas and address problems that may predispose one to foot ulcers.

• Release of pressure areas: Avoiding pressure in sensitive areas of the feet can help prevent injuries.
• Correction of foot deformities: Foot deformities such as bunion and hammer toe can put the individual at risk of developing pressure areas.
• Management of Charcot foot: The foot deformity can be addressed through proper management to maintain stability.
• Enhancing circulation: Endovascular measures, stent placement or artery bypass can be used to correct peripheral vascular problems.
• Amputations if required: In cases where the infections become severe or in case there is poor circulation, it becomes necessary to amputate the toes, foot, or even a part of the lower extremity.
