Where Medicine Meets... Artistry
Living with diabetes requires consistent attention to health, and one of the most serious complications patients face is the diabetic foot ulcer. These open sores or wounds develop mainly on the bottom of the feet and can lead to severe infections if left untreated. At Dr. Y.V. Rao Clinics, we provide advanced, personalized diabetic foot ulcer treatment in Hyderabad, focusing on healing, infection control, and preventing recurrence.
With years of experience in reconstructive and wound care surgery, Dr. Y.V. Rao uses evidence-based techniques to promote faster recovery, preserve mobility, and prevent complications such as gangrene or amputation.
A diabetic foot ulcer is a break in the skin that fails to heal due to poor circulation, nerve damage, and compromised immunity associated with diabetes. The reduced sensation caused by diabetic neuropathy often means patients may not feel an injury or blister, allowing it to worsen without timely care.
Diabetic foot ulcers are not just surface wounds; they can extend deep into muscle, tendons, and even bone. Delaying treatment increases the risk of severe infection, osteomyelitis (bone infection), and gangrene. In extreme cases, amputation may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection. Early detection and intervention significantly improve healing rates and reduce the risk of complications.
We follow a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that addresses the ulcer itself and the underlying causes. Our treatment process includes:

Even after healing, patients remain at risk for recurrence, so long-term preventive care is essential.
Prevention is always better than cure, especially for high-risk diabetic patients. Simple daily practices can dramatically reduce the risk of ulcer development:
If you or a loved one is experiencing a foot wound that is slow to heal, do not wait until it becomes severe. Early treatment can save your foot and prevent serious complications.

A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore on the toes, heel, or ball of the foot in individuals with diabetes.
Diabetes causes nerve damage and poor circulation, reducing sensation and slowing healing, which increases risk of unnoticed injuries and persistent ulcers.
Diagnosis includes a foot exam for sensation and blood flow, measuring ulcer size and depth, and imaging tests like X-rays for infections.
Untreated ulcers can cause infections, tissue death, gangrene, amputation, prolonged hospitalization, and impaired mobility, significantly affecting quality of life.
Healing time varies based on ulcer size, depth, blood supply, and overall health, typically taking several weeks to a few months with care.
