Diabetic Foot & Related Conditions
Below are some of the common conditions we treat at CDFC Hospital.
Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot refers to infections, ulcers, or damage to the foot caused by diabetes. Reduced blood flow and nerve damage can delay healing and increase the risk of complications. Early treatment is important to prevent serious outcomes.
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins usually seen in the legs. They can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort, especially after long periods of standing. Proper treatment helps improve circulation and reduce symptoms.
Ingrown Toenail
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. If not treated early, it can lead to infection, especially in diabetic patients.
Corns
Corns are thickened areas of skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction. They can become painful while walking and may worsen if ignored. Safe removal and pressure relief are important.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema causes swelling in the legs due to fluid buildup. It can make the skin tight and increase the risk of infection. Early care helps manage swelling and improve comfort.
Gangrene
Gangrene is a serious condition where body tissue dies due to lack of blood supply or infection. It requires urgent medical attention to prevent further complications and protect the affected limb.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is a condition where the joint cartilage wears down over time, causing pain and stiffness. It can affect walking and daily activities, especially in older adults.
Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels. It can lead to numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the feet, increasing the risk of unnoticed injuries.
