Diabetic foot ulcers are common wounds frequently encountered in diabetic patients that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. Diabetes impairs the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar and can cause nerve damage. This weakens the body's response to wounds and prolongs the healing process. Diabetic foot ulcers manifest as ulcers, wounds, and infections occurring on the feet of these patients.

Early Diagnosis and Medical Treatment:
Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Dr. Ertürk regularly monitors diabetic patients to minimize wound progression and infection risks. Medical treatment involves wound cleaning, infection control, and accelerating the healing process. Special wound care products and medications are also used to positively influence recovery.

Surgical Intervention:
In some cases, diabetic foot ulcers may become severe and require surgical intervention. Dr. Ertürk evaluates surgical treatment options based on the wound depth and extent of infection spread. Surgical procedures include debridement (removal of dead tissue) and preparing the wound area to facilitate healing. This intervention helps prevent infections and promotes recovery.

Diabetic Foot Care:
Diabetic patients need regular foot care to maintain foot health. Proper cleaning of the feet, choosing suitable footwear to prevent wounds, and regular check-ups are essential in diabetic foot care. Dr. Ertürk educates patients on foot care practices and prevention methods.
