A patient talks about their diabetic foot treatment at EDFC, Surat: what brought them in, the care they received and how their foot healed.
In this short video, a patient treated at Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC), Surat shares their experience of diabetic foot treatment under the care of Dr. Ashutosh Shah and the EDFC team. For many people with diabetes, a foot wound brings worry about long treatment or even losing the foot. This story helps other patients and families understand what to expect.
Why Diabetic Foot Wounds Need Specialist Care
Diabetes can reduce feeling and blood flow in the feet. A small cut, blister or callus may go unnoticed and turn into an ulcer that heals slowly. Without the right care, the wound can become infected and spread to deeper tissue. A dedicated diabetic foot team looks at the wound, the blood flow and the pressure on the foot together, so the cause is treated and not just the wound.
How EDFC Treats Diabetic Foot Problems
Every treatment plan starts with a full foot assessment. Depending on the problem, care may include:
- Wound care: Cleaning, removal of dead tissue and suitable dressings.
- Offloading: Footwear or devices that take pressure off the wound.
- Infection control: Antibiotics and drainage when needed.
- Surgery when needed: Procedures to remove the cause of a wound or save the foot.
- Follow-up: Regular reviews until the wound heals, with advice to prevent it from returning.
