The survival time of diabetic foot rot without amputation is difficult to judge, need to be analyzed according to the specific situation, if only mild infection will not endanger the life; if serious infection, at any time there is a danger to life.
1. No need for amputation: If the diabetic foot rot is not serious, only mild infection and timely treatment, can apply anti-infective drugs, such as amoxicillin and ceftazidime, etc., can also control the condition.
2. Need to amputate: If the patient needs to amputate, but is not willing to amputate, this situation is more serious. If the infection is more serious, it will lead to systemic infection, induce sepsis and septicemia, which will jeopardize the life; if there is no blood supply to the distal limb and cause local blackness, this is called dry gangrene, which is generally not life-threatening.
Therefore, if the specialist requires amputation, it is recommended that the patient needs to actively cooperate with the specialist to avoid endangering life. Diabetic foot rot should be timely to the hospital.
