Treatment of trophic ulcer

Trophic ulcer is a result of untreated leg vein problems. It is an unhealing wound that requires serious treatment.

If superficial vein problems are not treated, which is the most frequent cause, then the lower shin swells and venose blood flow is damaged, which is when all the cosmetic defects apperat – pigmentation, the skin is hard and painful. If the disease progresses, deep veins can also be influenced.

People who have regular swelling due to enlarged veins should be especially cautious. Often these people have itchy skin on the shin, also discoloroation in the ankle region.

How is the procedure performed?

Trophic ulcer treatment is a very complex process. First of all is precise diagnostics is performed, then the doctor chooses the tactit. Patient is informed about the precise disease form, because patients understanding and cooperation in the process is very important to achieve successful results.

In cases, when the trophic ulcer has not developed yet and the treatment has been started at the right time it is enough with a compression therapy: in these cases the swollen leg is being tied with special elastic bands, which can be left on for several days, however in between changing the bands lympho drainage is performed, which is a special treatment to reduce swelling in the legs. When the swelling has reduces, compression socks are advised.

If the ulcer has already developed, firstly the base of ulcer is cleaned of any puss and damaged tissue, then compression therapy and lympho drainage procedures are performed.
