Amputation prevention

Amputation prevention involves managing health conditions like diabetes and poor blood flow to reduce the risk of losing a limb. It includes proper wound care, controlling blood sugar and pressure, and regular check-ups to catch issues early. Maintaining good hygiene, avoiding injury, and addressing infections promptly are essential. Healthcare providers may recommend treatments such as medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical procedures to protect the limb. The goal is to minimize tissue damage and keep the affected limb healthy, helping individuals maintain mobility and quality of life.
