Diabetic foot can be treated in endocrinology, general surgery, and diabetic foot centers.
Diabetic foot is caused by long-term poor control of blood glucose in diabetic patients, and diabetes belongs to the category of endocrinology, and complications caused by diabetes can also go to the endocrinology department for consultation and treatment.
If the condition of diabetic foot is more serious and cannot be relieved after internal medicine treatment, it is necessary to consider other treatment methods, if it is necessary to carry out debridement, you can go to the general surgery department, if it is accompanied by lesions of large blood vessels you can go to the vascular surgery department, and if it is necessary to carry out amputation, you can go to the orthopaedic department.
In addition, some hospitals have set up diabetic foot diagnosis and treatment centers, and patients with diabetic foot can also go to such departments.
If you are diagnosed with diabetic foot and are not sure which department you need to go to, you can ask at the hospital’s information desk.
