What are the complications of diabetic foot amputation?

Overview
The patient has had diabetes for more than 20 years. In the first few years, the patient did not have obvious discomfort. Later, blood sugar control has been unstable, sometimes as high as 28, 29, and sometimes can be controlled to 4 A few or so, I have not seen it before going to the special diabetes hospital system. I have been controlling my diet. I found a wound on my foot a month ago. I didn’t care at the time. Later, it appeared to be rotten and smelly. After I went to the hospital for examination, I found out that it was suffering. With the disease of diabetic foot, what are the complications after the amputation of diabetic foot?

Step / Method:
1. Clinically, patients with diabetes amputation have a higher probability of infection after surgery than non-diabetic patients. Therefore, once the patient has an abscess after surgery, it must be promptly drained and nursed, otherwise it may even need to be severe. Amputation surgery is performed again.

Diabetes patients, please note that once these changes occur in your feet, you can only amputate without seeing a doctor.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which blood sugar levels are elevated due to defects in islet secretion or other biological effects. Diabetes is generally not cured, so once diabetes occurs, it can only be controlled. The various complications caused by diabetes have caused many people to die or live forever.

Long-term blood sugar is increased, large blood vessels and microvessels are damaged and endanger the heart, brain, kidney, peripheral nerves, eyes, feet, etc. According to the World Health Organization, the complications of diabetes are as high as 100. Among them, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are more common, followed by kidney disease. For another diabetic disease, a disease that causes amputation in diabetic patients, many patients are unfamiliar.

Diabetic foot is a common complication of diabetic patients. The main site of the disease is on both feet. The main manifestation is that the foot is not cured. Patients who have amputated because of diabetic foot are 10 to 20 times more likely to be non-diabetic. And each patient with a history of diabetes for 10 years or so will have at least one complication of 30% to 40%, of which diabetic foot is more common. The treatment of diabetic foot should be based on the control of blood sugar, the use of target body fluid permeation therapy, the treatment of sputum and sputum venom, blood and myogenic muscles, in order to heal.

Are you afraid of amputation, eyelids, organ failure, and 9 major complications of diabetes?

At present, the mortality caused by diabetic complications is second only to cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and tumors. From the point of view of death, the cause of death in diabetic patients is mainly various complications.
Are you afraid of amputation, eyelids, organ failure, and 9 major complications of diabetes?
Among them, coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death in diabetic patients, accounting for 60% to 80% of deaths in diabetic patients.

Diabetes is not terrible, terrible is the complications!

1. Diabetes complicated by hypertension

People with diabetes are prone to high blood pressure, with an incidence of 30% to 50%. Diabetes and hypertension have a commonality, so they often have seizures. Therefore, the two are called homologous diseases.

In the early stage, there are headaches, dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, insomnia and other symptoms. Further development may lead to lesions and even failure of important organs such as heart, brain and kidney.

Doctors remind: Diabetic people do not want to amputate their feet, we must keep in mind 4 "iron law"!

In recent years, diabetic foot has a relatively high incidence rate, because the incidence of diabetes is gradually increasing, and diabetic foot is a complication of diabetes. Therefore, people hope that people can understand the treatment of diabetic foot disease and diet care because of illness. Such diseases can only reduce some of the harms by doing active treatment and care.

Sugar foot treatment depends on the condition of the lesion

1. The treatment of ulcers

According to the 6 grades of diabetic foot injury, if it is a grade 0 wound, the risk of ulceration in the foot can be treated with modified shoes, mold inner cushion or deepened shoes, and patient education, regular follow-up. Once skin cracking occurs, active intervention must be made to prevent further damage from developing. Ways to alleviate external stress on a grade 1 wound include wearing a post-shoe, using an ankle brace, wearing a prefabricated walking brace, or using a full-contact gypsum. In addition to proper decompression and compression sites, proper ulcer wound care is required to avoid tissue dehydration cell necrosis and accelerate wound healing.

Hundreds of thousands of patients are amputated every year because of diabetes, but they don’t know that this can be avoided.

Diabetes is a group of lifelong metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by multiple causes. With more than 100 complications, it is the most common complication known.

Hundreds of thousands of patients are amputated every year because of diabetes, but they don’t know that this can be avoided.
Patients with amputation due to diabetes are 10 to 20 times more likely to be non-diabetic. About 10 years after the onset of diabetes, there will be at least one complication in 30% to 40% of patients, and once the complications occur, drug treatment is difficult to reverse, so early prevention of diabetes is particularly important.


  Early symptoms of diabetes:

  1.Mouth

  Dry mouth, thirst, drinking water, sputum, ecchymosis, swelling of the gums, pain in the teeth, or burning sensation in the mouth.

  2. Eyes

  Yellow flat new creature (yellow tumor) under the eyelid

Terrible complications: How do diabetics step by step to amputation and disability?

How do diabetics who have had small skin wounds and small wounds step by step to amputation and even death?
Terrible complications: How do diabetics step by step to amputation and disability?

1. Often the lower limbs are cold, numb, and the legs are “cramped”, which is easily mistaken for the lack of calcium in the elderly and delays the condition. Therefore, the coldness of the foot is an early signal, which is a poor performance of the blood supply to the foot. It must be treated early.

2. “Intermittent claudication” means that after the patient walks for a distance, he develops pain in the lower extremities and is forced to stop exercising. After a short break, the pain is relieved. After walking for a distance again, the pain reappears. As the ischemia increases, the distance the patient walks will become shorter and shorter.

To what extent does diabetes require amputation?

It seems that amputation is the only way to treat diabetic foot and the final result. In fact, diabetic foot does not need amputation, and patients ask this, obviously they also reject amputation, but do not know what better way besides amputation?
