Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment in Tellapur – Complete Guide for Quick & Safe Wound Healing
A Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is an open wound or sore that occurs commonly in people with uncontrolled diabetes. It usually appears on the foot or toes due to poor blood circulation, nerve damage, or infection. If not treated early, diabetic foot ulcers can worsen and lead to serious complications, including gangrene or amputation.
In Tellapur, Hyderabad, patients can access specialized diabetic foot care, advanced wound management, vascular evaluation, and minimally invasive treatments. With early medical attention, most diabetic ulcers heal completely and prevent further complications.
