Detailed introduction to the symptoms of neuropathic ulcers

Neuropathic ulcers are actually quite common in diabetic patients because the foot nerves in diabetic patients will have abnormalities, and some more serious cases will develop neuropathic ulcers. The symptoms of neuropathic ulcers are described in detail below.

symptom

Symptom 1: First of all, diabetic foot patients suffer from foot lesions due to long-term diabetes. The skin of the patient's feet becomes dry, and the feet may cause tingling, numbness, and loss of sensation. At the same time, the patient's extremities will experience symptoms such as malnutrition and muscle atrophy.

Symptom 2: Diabetic foot patients suffer from muscle atrophy due to long-term ischemia of skin tissue, and their skin is dry and has poor elasticity. Once the patient's skin temperature drops, pigmentation will appear and vascular murmurs can be heard in the narrowed blood vessels. At the same time, if blisters become infected on the patient's extremities, it may lead to ulcers or gangrene.

Symptom three: At the same time, diabetic foot may also cause peripheral neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease, which may lead to foot pain, ulcers and gangrene.

harm

1. The symptoms of diabetic foot itself bring mental and physical pain to patients. If the patient feels unwell, he or she is forced to control diet and exercise, and has to take medicine and get injections. This situation will last indefinitely, and the pain is difficult for non-diabetic foot patients to understand.

2. Diabetic foot itself is a serious condition and has great harm. Diabetic foot reflects the lesions of the nerves and large blood vessels of the feet caused by diabetes, and leads to local tissue ulceration, infection, osteomyelitis, necrosis, etc. Local treatment is usually very difficult, and many patients eventually need amputation or toe amputation.

3. The complications caused by diabetic foot cannot be ignored. Diabetic foot disease can be complicated by or induce other acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and even induce acute complications of diabetes, such as ketoacidosis, hyperosmotic syndrome, and systemic sepsis due to the spread of foot infection.
