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.


What is a Diabetic Foot Ulcer?

A diabetic foot ulcer is a deep, non-healing wound that forms on the foot due to:

  • Lack of sensation (neuropathy)

  • Poor blood flow

  • High blood sugar

  • Frequent friction or injury

Ulcers can become infected quickly, which makes early treatment extremely important.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment in Tellapur

Treatment depends on wound severity, infection level, and blood circulation.

Causes

  • Peripheral Neuropathy
    Nerve damage reduces sensation, causing unnoticed injuries.

  • Poor Blood Circulation (Peripheral Artery Disease)
    Limited blood flow delays healing and increases infection risk.

  • High Blood Sugar Levels
    Slows immune response and weakens wound healing capability.

  • Foot Infections & Fungal Growth
    Small cracks or wounds can get infected quickly.

  • Foot Deformities or Pressure Points
    Corns, calluses, ill-fitting footwear, bunions cause skin breakdown.

Diagnosis

  • Physical Foot Examination
    Doctor checks wound depth, infection, swelling, and tissue damage.

  • Blood Sugar & HbA1c Tests
    To understand diabetic control level.

  • Wound Culture Test
    Detects bacterial or fungal infection.
