People don’t care much about what they don’t know, let alone how much of an impact it has. I believe many people have never heard of diabetic foot, which is a complication of diabetes, and even people with diabetes are not sure what it is. Now let’s take a look at what characteristics the diabetic foot has! 1, the incidence of diabetic foot is high. Some experts have pointed out that although the incidence of diabetic foot in our country is lower than the global average, but the average incidence is still as high as 5.7%. In particular, the combination of hypertension, dyslipidemia patients increased, the high incidence of vascular disease, age, long duration of the disease, the chances of morbidity will be higher. 2, weak cognitive ability of diabetic foot. Many diabetic patients have only heard of the diabetic foot and have not seen it with their own eyes, which leads to a relatively low rate of early treatment of diabetic foot, dragging serious before going. There are many endocrinologists who have seen such patients, but do not have in-depth understanding and lack of practice, and it is difficult to cure such patients when they encounter them. 3, the amputation rate is relatively high. The previous data, if the world every 20 seconds a diabetic patient is amputated, is not very shocking? What is even more incredible is that many patients may not get well after amputation and face multiple surgeries again after a relapse. If one limb is amputated, there is a 50% chance that the other limb will also have to be amputated within 5 years. Moreover, the survival status after surgery is not good, the statistics are low, and 70% of patients die within 5 years due to the disease. 4, diabetic foot is also curable. Many problems together, giving us the feeling that diabetic foot is very difficult to cure, or only through amputation can be cured, the fundamental reason is still not found effective treatment methods. It has been proven that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat diabetic foot is very effective, and only need to remove the infection and necrotic inflammatory tissue, rather than through amputation can be cured. 5, high cost of treatment. The treatment cost of all chronic trauma, including diabetic foot, is generally higher because the patient’s physical condition is poor, the lesion is serious, the condition is not optimistic, and the recovery period is relatively long, which is common throughout the country. Of course, the above few days are just my summary based on the cases admitted to our hospital diabetic foot specialty, and perhaps there are other characteristics not mentioned. My ultimate goal is to tell you that you should not treat your diabetic foot blindly, but only if you find the right method and the right hospital, your diabetic foot can be cured very quickly.
