When it comes to diabetic foot, a large percentage of patients are still unaware of it. In view of the fact that diabetic foot is one of the very serious complications at present, we will briefly introduce diabetic foot together and what are the characteristics of diabetic foot: Diabetic patients are prone to peripheral neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease in the environment of high blood sugar, which can cause the destruction and deformity formation of soft tissues and bone and joint system of the foot through excessive mechanical pressure, and then lead to a series of foot problems, from mild neurological This can lead to a series of foot problems, ranging from mild neurological symptoms to serious ulcers, infections, vascular diseases, etc. It is one of the health problems with a relatively high rate of disability and death at present. So, what are the specific characteristics of the treatment of diabetic foot? 1, the incidence of diabetic foot is high. Professor Bi Yan of the Department of Endocrinology of Nanjing Gulou Hospital has pointed out that although the incidence of diabetic foot in our country is lower than the global average, 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, poor knowledge of the diabetic foot. Many diabetic patients have only heard of 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 know how to cure them because they do not know in depth. 3, the amputation rate is relatively high. According to previous data, one diabetic patient is amputated every 20 seconds worldwide, and many patients may not be well after amputation, and will face multiple surgeries again after 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 poor, and statistics show that the survival rate is low, with 70% of patients dying of the disease within 5 years. 4. High cost of treatment. Including the diabetic foot, all chronic trauma treatment costs are generally higher because of the poor physical condition of the patient, the severity of the lesion, the condition is not optimistic, the recovery period is relatively long, which is common throughout the country. 5, diabetic foot is also curable. Many problems together, giving us the feeling that diabetic foot is very difficult to cure, or can only be cured by amputation, the fundamental reason is still not to find an effective treatment method. It has been proven that if the infected and necrotic inflammatory tissue is removed, it can be cured without amputation. Of course, the above few days are only my summary based on the cases admitted to our hospital diabetic foot specialist, and there may be other characteristics not mentioned. My ultimate goal is to tell you that diabetic foot should not be treated blindly, but only if you find the right method and the right hospital, diabetic foot can be cured quickly.
