What if a diabetic wound infection does not heal?

  There was a patient whose leg was accidentally touched at a corner and he kept applying anti-inflammatory drugs at a nearby clinic, but the wound wound did not show any signs of healing, and the skin at the wound edge started to become black and necrotic, and the infection was more serious. The doctor at the clinic saw the situation and advised him to go to a higher level hospital for a detailed examination, after which it was found that the patient had high blood sugar, and the doctor judged that the patient had abnormal blood sugar for at least two years based on his clinical symptoms.  In other words, the patient’s non-healing wound was caused by having high diabetic blood sugar, which is a characteristic of diabetes itself. So, why does a diabetic patient’s wound not heal? As I have said before, there are an extraordinary number of factors related to non-healing wounds, but today, for this patient, the most important etiology is the non-healing of the wound caused by infection.  Why did the wound become infected?  The high blood glucose in the local wound and the reduced resistance and immunity of the patient are conducive to the growth of germs, and a large number of germs will be present on the wound surface. And for your information, the metabolism of germs can likewise hinder wound healing.  The metabolism of germs on the wound surface will produce many substances such as ammonia, which will cause the local pH to rise back up rapidly after a short period of lowering, losing the inhibition of neutrophil chemotaxis and movement by lowering pH during physiological healing, leading to the aggregation of neutrophils and the release of excess elastase, which will cause an excessive inflammatory response and intensify the trauma damage, and more healthy tissues will be destroyed.  Moreover, the necrotic tissue not only provides a breeding ground for germs to multiply, but also covers the healthy muscle surface, which can affect the metabolism of healthy cells and prevent the normal formation of granulation, which will eventually lead to long-lasting trauma and delayed wound healing.  Especially in the early stage of infection, the local blood supply is insufficient, especially in deeper infections, which is difficult to be detected and paid attention to due to the insidious nature, and the treatment is difficult to make the appropriate plan, and the toxins are difficult to be eliminated, which will aggravate the patient’s condition and is more detrimental to the healing.  What to do? According to the above, for infected Genmina want to heal quickly, then it is necessary to eliminate the germs on the wound. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine open treatment, mainly with the help of professional stoma therapists to do debridement of the wound, is used to reduce the number of germs on the surface of the wound and reduce the impact of germs on the wound, which will make the treatment much less difficult.  It has been proved that by combining comprehensive treatments such as infection control, circulation improvement, wound nutrition and debridement and muscle growth after debridement, and by using Chinese herbal medicine for natural growth to improve the immunity and resistance of the wound, the wound can really achieve rapid healing.  Of course, treatment is not our aim, we still hope that you usually learn more about diabetes and complications, prevent diabetic complications from the early stage, and receive the correct treatment in time after the wound appears, keep the wound clean, and do not handle it without authorization and blindly treat it, causing avoidable damage to the patient.
