Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcer - A Case Report
Abstract
Due to sedentary lifestyle of today, diabetes mellitus is becoming a common illness. One of the complications of diabetes mellitus, the primary cause of lower limb amputations, is diabetic foot ulcers. It affects 15% of all diabetes mellitus patients and occurs before lower limb amputation in 84% of people with diabetic foot ulcers. Controlling blood sugar levels, debridement, improved dressings, and offloading techniques are all necessary for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Acharya Sushruta has listed sixty different forms of treatment in the Ayurvedic literature. He has placed particular emphasis on Vranashodhana and Ropana. Blood sugar management with Arogyavardhini Vati, wound debridement and appropriate wound care are all part of the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. It took a month for the ulcer to fully heal, and throughout that time, the patient's ability to carry out daily tasks improved. The Ayurvedic treatment that was implemented has shown encouraging outcomes in the management of diabetic foot ulcer. It is imperative to conduct more randomised controlled trials in this area of study.
