Overview

Diabetic gangrene is a severe complication of diabetes that results from tissue death due to poor blood circulation, often in the extremities like the toes, feet, or fingers. E H Care specializes in treating diabetic gangrene by providing a comprehensive approach, combining medical expertise and advanced therapeutic techniques to save tissues and prevent further complications.

Symptoms

• Darkened or discolored skin, usually black, brown, or green
• Foul-smelling discharge from the affected area
• Swelling, pain, or tenderness
• Numbness in the affected region
• Coldness in the skin
• Blisters or ulcers that do not heal

When to See a Doctor

Seek immediate medical attention if:

• You notice changes in skin color, especially blackened areas.
• There is an increase in pain, swelling, or foul-smelling discharge.
• Open sores or ulcers are not healing.
• You experience numbness, particularly in your extremities.

Causes

• Poor Circulation: Narrowed arteries or damaged blood vessels due to high blood sugar levels can lead to restricted blood flow.
• Infections: Open wounds or ulcers that are untreated can become infected, leading to tissue death.
• Nerve Damage: Diabetic neuropathy, which leads to loss of sensation, can cause unnoticed injuries or ulcers that worsen over time.

Types

• Dry Gangrene: Caused by poor circulation, where the tissue slowly dries and turns black.
• Wet Gangrene: Infected tissue becomes swollen, produces pus, and emits a foul odor. It spreads quickly and is life-threatening.
• Gas Gangrene: A rare type caused by bacterial infection, producing gas within tissues and causing severe tissue damage.

Risk Factors

• Long-standing diabetes with poor blood sugar control
• Smoking, which damages blood vessels
• Obesity, leading to additional strain on the circulatory system
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD) or atherosclerosis
• Previous history of diabetic foot ulcers
• Age, as older individuals are more susceptible

Complications

• Amputation of the affected area
• Life-threatening infections, such as sepsis
• Permanent nerve damage
• Reduced mobility and quality of life
• Extended hospital stays and recovery periods
