Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment
Diabetic foot ulcer treatment without surgery involves non-invasive methods to promote healing and prevent complications. Key approaches include proper wound care, such as cleaning and dressing the ulcer, and debridement to remove dead tissue. Offloading, using specialised footwear or cushions, helps reduce pressure on the ulcer. Managing blood sugar levels is essential to support healing, while antibiotics may be used to treat infections. Additionally, topical treatments like antimicrobial creams or growth factors can enhance healing. These methods aim to heal the ulcer, reduce pain, and prevent the need for surgical intervention.
