What to do if the wound doesn't heal well

In daily life, when a wound occurs due to an accident, if the wound does not heal for a long time, you must understand some of the reasons why the wound is not willing to heal. It may be related to the physical constitution of the body. For example, high blood sugar may cause the wound to not like to heal. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene and cause the wound to ulcerate, it will be more difficult to heal at this time. Therefore, you must adjust your condition in time, keep the wound clean, and strengthen diet adjustment.

What to do if the wound doesn't heal well

1. Control blood sugar and keep it normal and stable, which is very important for wound healing.

2. If the patient's wound does not have a large ulcer and just cannot heal for a long time, you can use saline to rinse the wound and change the dressing every day for treatment. And add appropriate amount of insulin for external use. Insulin can stimulate the growth of granulation tissue and promote wound healing.

3. If the patient's wound has a more serious ulcer and the wound cannot heal for a long time, it is necessary to do a good job of wound debridement and remove the necrotic tissue of the wound in time. After debridement, use good medicines to promote wound healing to promote wound healing. To avoid infection, gentamicin compresses can be applied topically.

4. Diabetic patients have weak body resistance and can receive nutritional support therapy to improve the body's nutritional level and enhance the capacity of tissue cells, thus promoting wound healing. For example, eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins to improve nutrition.

5. Keep a relaxed and happy mood. Studies have shown that being overly anxious is not good for the healing of diabetic foot wounds. This is because it takes time for ulcers to heal. If the expectation of accelerated wound healing is not realized, it will lead to depression and have a negative impact on the speed of wound healing. Although there is still no consensus on how negative mentality and depression will directly affect the healing speed of diabetic foot wounds in terms of pathology, experts still recommend that diabetic patients should try to maintain a relaxed and natural attitude during the healing process of diabetic foot wounds and similar traumas.

6. Do not bandage the wound casually. When ordinary people have small wounds on their bodies, they are often accustomed to putting a Band-Aid on them, but in fact this treatment method is not suitable for diabetic patients. In fact, a small piece of gauze is far more suitable than a Band-Aid. For local treatment of the wound, you can first disinfect the wound with alcohol or iodine, and then bandage the wound with one or two layers of gauze at most. Since the air permeability of gauze is better than that of a band-aid, it is more conducive to wound recovery.

Four effective solutions

1. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs

The reason why a wound cannot heal for a long time may be infection. The wounds of some elderly or young patients are most susceptible to infection after being injured. In this case, it is recommended to take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally, or go to the hospital for anti-inflammatory injections, which can help the wound heal. You can also use a patch that promotes blood circulation and promotes tissue regeneration on the wound.

2. Diabetic patients need to inject insulin

Many diabetic patients have difficulty healing their wounds after being injured, and they are also prone to infection. It is recommended that such patients inject insulin appropriately. If they are severe diabetic patients, they need to pay more attention because they may develop diabetic syndrome, which will have some impact on wound healing.

3. Nutritional supplement

Sometimes the wound does not heal for a long time because of the failure to change bad eating habits and the unbalanced nutrition intake affecting the cell regeneration. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nutrition supplementation and eat more protein-rich foods, such as fish, eggs, pigeon meat, etc.

4. Do not use colored medicines

If the wound is large and difficult to heal, it is recommended not to use some colored medicines, such as red medicine, purple medicine, etc. This may cause the medicine to not be completely absorbed and remain in the wound area, which will affect the healing of the wound and leave an ugly scar.
