Treatment of Chronic Wounds

Chronic wounds are injuries that don't heal properly, often due to underlying conditions like diabetes or poor circulation. Treatment focuses on cleaning the wound to prevent infection, promoting healing through various dressings, and addressing any underlying health issues. Healthcare professionals may use advanced techniques like skin grafts or specialized therapy, such as negative pressure wound therapy, to encourage healing. Proper nutrition and patient education are also important to support recovery and prevent future wounds. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are essential to ensure the wound heals effectively and to manage any complications.
