Covered Diabetes Wounds And Ulcers Really Heal Faster ?

For my experience with a diabetes wounds case study, proved
that, diabetes wounds with a covered using bandages and gauze,
wouldn't be getting healing faster.

Covered diabetes wounds and ulcers with bandages will causing
more serious and complicated affect wounds healing faster, if
compare with normal wounds.

What is a causes, if diabetes wounds covered ?

-Affect blood circulation of the foot
 When i was make appointment to patient in hospital, i saw patient
 diabetes foot wounds, covered with tighten bandages, upper-side foot
 faced swelling, effected blood circulation.

Diabetes patient can't control blood sugar very well during long term
period, will causing nerve damage, the blood flow to the nerves is limited,
leaving the nerves without blood flow, and they get damaged or die as a
known as ischemia. The foot become numbness, burning, aching of the
feet lower extremities and complete loss of sensation in the feet.

You arms and legs are supplied by long blood vessels, which may be
blocked as a result of diabetes, smoking, and high cholesterol. As the
blood supply becomes interrupted, patients normally complain that their
calves are painful or cramp during walking.

 In severe situations,the leg lose all sensations of pain such that small
 ulcers,wounds and cuts go unnoticed. The skin is also lacking in blood
 supply, healing of the ulcer and wounds is very slow or not possible.
 If diabetes wounds covered with bandages and gauze, this will make
 more serious complicated, and slow down wounds healing process.

-Affect fresh tissue of flesh growing faster
 Diabetes wounds need to wait the fresh tissue of flesh has completely
 grown in place filling the deep dented wounds, with follow by the growth
 of new layer of skin till it finally cover the wounded area. This stage, the
 wounds has fully healed internally and externally.

 Covered diabetes wounds with bandages will causing blockage of oxygen.
 New growing wounds tissue needs more oxygen for growing, if the blood
 can not flow to the feet very well with less oxygen, this will causes more
 complicated slow down fresh tissue of wounds growing.

-Affect fresh tissue of flesh growing stitches on bandages and gauze 
 When Covered diabetes wounds with bandages and gauze, new growing
  fresh tissue of wounds will be stitches seriously on the gauze, it will causing
 damage new cell and tissue of wounds during daily dressing, when remove
 or changes new bandages and gauze.

-Affect diabetes wounds generated more serious bad smell pus
 For diabetes wounds which will accumulated serious smelly pus and causing
 increasing with expansion wounds area,wounds getting worst, this will be
slow down wounds healing process. All the yellow or grayish pus must
random press it out from the wounds and ulcer during dressing.

If the wounds and ulcers without covered with bandages and 
gauze, it can lead an infection. What is a best ways to overcome 
an infection with uncovered diabetes wounds and ulcers to get 
heal faster? It will be discuss in next following post.

Diabetic,blood sugar if not control very well,will lead to many
complications such as neuropathy,macrovascular disease,vision
loss,and decreased immunity.Diabetics foot ulcers is the most
common and serious complication.

-Foot pain,often caused great pain to the patient,the consequences
 may lead to amputation and even life-threatening.

Diabetics foot ulcers may cause amputation of the lower limbs if delay
to do treatment.It can be dangerous because these ulcerations can
become the portal of entry of several infective agents,such as bacteria
and other microorganisms.You may be wondering what might be the
cause of these foot ulcers.

Diabetic patients have poor sensory perception and diabetes wounds
take time to heal than normal,a small cut or a wound in the feet of a
diabetic can be left untreated if not checked immediately.It can later
on lead to ulceration,infection,and finally lower limb amputation.

should be a practice .

 swelling and feet pain.Prefer self-massage early morning and
 before night sleep.Families must helping,let the patient know the
 proper way and simple guidance and advice to prevent diabetic foot.
