What is a Diabetic Foot Ulcer?
A diabetic foot ulcer is a common and serious complication of diabetes. It typically develops due to poor circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and pressure on certain areas of the foot. These ulcers can be slow to heal and may become infected if not treated properly.
Common Causes of Diabetic Foot Ulcers:
-
Uncontrolled blood sugar levels
-
Peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage)
-
Poor foot hygiene or improper footwear
-
Minor foot injuries, cuts, or blisters
-
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
-
Poor circulation in the legs and feet
Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment Options at Paras Hospital, Ranchi
We offer both medical and surgical treatment options for diabetic foot ulcers, including:
Wound Debridement
Removal of dead or infected tissue to promote healing. This is often the first step in treating a chronic diabetic wound.
Advanced Wound Dressings
Use of moisture-retentive dressings, antimicrobial foams, and hydrocolloid coverings to protect the wound and accelerate healing.
Infection Management
Antibiotic therapy tailored to your wound culture and severity of infection. Severe infections may require IV antibiotics.
Offloading Techniques
We use custom footwear, orthotics, and total contact casting to reduce pressure on the ulcer and prevent worsening.
Vascular Evaluation & Surgery
Patients with poor circulation may undergo vascular assessment and procedures to restore blood flow and support healing.
Diabetic Foot Surgery
In cases of abscess, deep infection, or bone involvement, surgical intervention may be necessary to prevent further complications.
