Not a simple foot problem!Diabetes can be seriously disabled
Uncle Liu, a patient in his 80s, had problems with big toes.
From pus and darkening to the end, Uncle Liu has always insisted on refusing to perform amputation surgery. He believes that a toe, the heart and the brain are so far away, and there will be no problem. Say that you cut off.
The doctors and children persuaded Uncle Liu who was not dangerous. Two months later, they died suddenly because of purulent allex. This purulent hemorrhine is caused by big toe necrosis caused by diabetic feet.
The problem that happened at the limb is often not valued. After all, the heart and the brains in the toes are so far. Many people think that it is not a big deal. It will be good sooner or later without having to make a fuss.
This is not “big fuss”. According to foreign data, in all non-injury low amputation surgery, diabetic patients account for 40%-60%, and in diabetic cases Caused by the foot ulcer. Therefore, if diabetic patients are damaged, they must not ignore it, especially patients with diabetic foot, even if they just break a slight ulceration, go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
“Socks” manifestations are common symptoms of early diabetic feet
Early diabetic feet were mainly itching, dullness and pigment spots on the skin of the feet, accompanied by dryness and puffiness. Severe causing, ulcers, erosion, and even local necrosis occur. Sensitivity such as tactile, warmth, etc., such as cool limb end, symptoms of “socks”, numbness, dullness and even loss of feet.
Some patients’ feet will also change in shape, such as the sink of the metatarsal bone, the bend of the metatarsal toe joints, becoming a bow -shaped foot, mallet -shaped toe, chicken -toe toe, and so on.
“Prevention is more important than treatment”, how to protect their feet in diabetic patients
Diabetes is one of the very serious complications of diabetes, and the death rate is not low, so it is very critical to prevent prevention in advance.
