Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Comprehensive Care for Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Diabetes, when not managed properly, can lead to serious complications—one of the most concerning being Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). These non-healing wounds can cause pain, infections, and in severe cases, amputation. At SAHASRA NALLATHAMBI Hospital, we specialize in advanced Diabetic Foot Care, Offering Early Detection, Effective Treatment, And Prevention Strategies to safeguard mobility and overall well-being.

Why Diabetic Foot Ulcers Need Immediate Attention?

Diabetic foot ulcers develop due to poor circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and prolonged pressure on the foot. Left untreated, these wounds can become infected, leading to serious complications. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that every patient receives timely and effective treatment to prevent escalation.

Symptoms to Watch For

Persistent wounds or sores on the foot that don’t heal

Redness, swelling, or warmth around a wound

Pain or numbness in the feet

Drainage or pus from an open sore

Blackened tissue (a sign of dead skin due to poor circulation)

If you notice any of these symptoms, Seeking Medical Attention Early can prevent severe complications.
