Diabetic Foot and Foot Gangrene Treatment
Diabetic foot complications, including foot gangrene, are serious conditions commonly faced by individuals with diabetes. These complications can lead to severe consequences if not treated promptly and effectively. Dr. Jyotish Roy offers specialized care for diabetic foot and foot gangrene, utilizing advanced therapeutic approaches to prevent, manage, and treat these complex conditions.
Understanding Diabetic Foot and Gangrene
Diabetic foot problems arise from nerve damage (neuropathy) that causes numbness in the feet, and poor blood flow (peripheral vascular disease), which can slow wound healing. Gangrene, which is the death of tissue due to a lack of blood flow, can develop when a foot injury or infection goes untreated and worsens.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Numbness or reduced ability to feel pain or temperature changes
- Tingling or burning sensation
- Sharp pains or cramps
- Increased skin temperature in the affected area
- Change in skin color, swelling, and wound with or without discharge
