Diabetic foot rotten for a long time, the wound swelling is serious, the doctor said may need to amputation to control. Our hospital diabetic foot specialist reminds us that it is possible to cure this condition without amputation by finding the cause and treating it symptomatically, especially by systematic treatment using a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. First of all, it is still necessary to find one of the causes of swelling. Kidney disease also tends to cause swelling, but most of them are systemic. There are also blocked blood vessels in the lower extremities, blood transport disorders, and tissue edema that also tend to cause swelling. More likely, the swelling is caused by gangrene inflammation. In diabetic feet with black swelling, after the swelling is diagnosed as a result of inflammation, control of local infection is the key to treatment. But the difficulty lies in the control of the infection. The diabetic foot itself is difficult to heal, easy to infect and difficult to control, even with a lot of antibiotics. But in fact, as long as the right treatment can be found, infection control is easy. For example, an effective and thorough debridement of an inflamed wound makes controlling the infection easy. Debridement clears inflamed necrotic skin, muscle, blood vessels, tendons and even bone, which helps to reduce the germ load and decrease the number of germs. The key point is still to allow the wound to heal quickly; without healing it will still become infected. This step can use Chinese ointment with the effect of decay and muscle growth, topical application on the surface of the wound, can improve the immunity of the wound, to create conditions for the proliferation and reproduction of wound cells, after a system of comprehensive treatment to promote rapid wound healing. Warm tips: diabetic foot patients should not blindly self-medication treatment, so as not to delay the treatment time, so that the trauma more serious. When diabetic foot appears, it must be promptly transferred to MDT multidisciplinary joint treatment center or department specializing in the treatment of diabetic foot, and receive systematic treatment with Chinese and Western medicine without amputation.
