Leg Ulcers :
A leg ulcer is an open wound that develops on the legs and takes at least two weeks to heal. Such an ulcer may leak a clear fluid or pus. Moreover, it may grow larger without treatment. Leg ulcers usually develop due to poor blood flow in the legs. The underlying cause of the poor blood flow can range from diabetes to high blood pressure and conditions like PAD or venous insufficiency.
A doctor can diagnose a leg ulcer with a physical exam. To find the underlying cause of the ulcer, the doctor may order tests like an ultrasound and a biopsy. The treatment of a leg ulcer depends on its cause. In many cases, wound care along with compression therapy and antibiotics can provide relief. But in more severe cases, procedures such as endovascular ablation and skin grafting are required for relief.Found 28 Doctors for Leg Ulcers in Vijayawada
