Diabetic Foot and Non-Healing Wound Treatment in Dhaka
Dr. AKM Mohiuddin treats diabetic foot ulcers, non-healing wounds, and venous ulcers at Surecell Medical, Gulshan-1, Dhaka, using stem cell therapy and PRP therapy, sometimes combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What Are Diabetic Foot and Non-Healing Wounds?
Diabetic foot and non-healing wounds are wounds, most often on the feet, that fail to heal at the expected rate. This is usually related to poor circulation, nerve damage, or complications from diabetes, and can also include venous ulcers and peripheral neuropathy.
Symptoms of Diabetic Foot and Non-Healing Wounds
Symptoms can develop gradually and are sometimes not noticed early due to reduced sensation in the feet.
A wound or ulcer that has not healed within a few weeks Numbness, tingling, or reduced sensation in the feet, from peripheral neuropathy Skin discoloration around the wound Swelling in the foot or lower leg Drainage, odor, or spreading redness around the wound
If you notice spreading redness, fever, a foul odor, or areas of blackened tissue around a foot wound, seek medical attention immediately rather than waiting for a scheduled consultation. These can be signs of a serious infection.
How Dr. AKM Mohiuddin Treats Diabetic Foot and Non-Healing Wounds
Dr. Mohiuddin treats diabetic foot and non-healing wounds using both stem cell therapy and PRP therapy, chosen based on the wound's cause, size, and how long it has been present.
In some cases, treatment is combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a complementary treatment available at Surecell Medical that increases oxygen delivery to slow-healing tissue.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment starts with a full assessment of the wound, including its size, depth, and cause, along with an evaluation of circulation and blood sugar control, since managing diabetes is an important part of wound healing.
Based on this assessment, Dr. Mohiuddin discusses whether stem cell therapy, PRP therapy, or a combination fits your wound, then walks through the treatment plan and ongoing wound care.
Is Treatment Right for You?
Treatment suitability depends on the wound’s size, depth, cause, and how well your blood sugar and circulation are managed overall. Wound healing works best as part of a broader care plan that includes managing diabetes, not as a stand-alone treatment.
A clinical assessment is the only way to know which treatment approach applies to your wound.
QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes diabetic foot ulcers?
Diabetic foot ulcers are usually caused by a combination of reduced circulation, nerve damage that lowers sensation in the feet, and prolonged pressure on the skin, which together slow the body’s ability to heal minor wounds.
Can stem cell therapy heal a non-healing wound?
Stem cell therapy is used to support wound healing in appropriately selected non-healing wounds, often alongside standard wound care and management of the underlying cause, such as diabetes or poor circulation.
What is the role of PRP in wound healing?
PRP therapy uses growth factors from the patient’s own blood to support tissue repair and healing at the wound site, often used alongside other wound care measures.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy used for diabetic wounds?
Yes, in some cases. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases oxygen delivery to slow-healing tissue and can be used alongside stem cell therapy or PRP therapy for diabetic foot wounds.
When should I seek urgent care for a diabetic foot wound?
Seek medical attention immediately if you notice spreading redness, fever, a foul odor, or blackened tissue around a foot wound. These can be signs of a serious infection that needs urgent treatment.
