  1. GANGRENE: RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS Gangrene is a serious medical condition where body tissue dies because it doesn't get enough blood. This can happen due to injuries, infections, or long-term conditions like diabetes and vascular diseases 9603999108 https://kbkhospitals.com/ kbkhospitals@gmail.com

  2. Types of Gangrene There are several types of gangrene, each with unique characteristics. Wet gangrene is caused by bacterial infections and progresses quickly, often with blistering and a foul odor. Dry gangrene is slower and results from poor circulation, leading to numbness and discoloration. Gas gangrene involves muscle infections and gas production within tissues, causing pain and skin color changes. Fournier's gangrene affects the genital area, mainly in men, and requires early intervention. Internal gangrene affects internal organs and spreads rapidly if not treated. 9603999108 https://kbkhospitals.com/ kbkhospitals@gmail.com

  3. Risk Factors and Symptoms Certain health conditions and circumstances increase the risk of gangrene. Surgeries can lead to tissue death, and diabetes can cause poor blood circulation. Buerger’s disease and injectable medications can also be risk factors. Common symptoms include skin discoloration, pain, swelling, and redness. In severe cases, patients may experience high fever, dizziness, breathing problems, changes in blood pressure, and mental confusion, especially with internal gangrene. 9603999108 https://kbkhospitals.com/ kbkhospitals@gmail.com

  4. Diagnosis and Treatments Diagnosing gangrene involves a thorough physical examination and various tests such as blood tests, bacteria cultures, and CT scans. Treatment focuses on removing dead tissue through surgery and addressing infections with antibiotics. Other treatments include biosurgery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to improve oxygen flow to tissues, and skin graft surgery to cover scars with healthy skin. 9603999108 https://kbkhospitals.com/ kbkhospitals@gmail.com
