How serious is the harm of old rotten legs?

1. The harm of old rotten legs is mainly lower limb pain and ulcers, which can be manifested as intermittent claudication, lower limb rest pain and foot gangrene from mild to severe.

2. The condition of the old rotten leg further develops, gangrene can appear on the foot, the wound does not heal for a long time, gangrene can be divided into wet, dry and mixed three, and those with severe gangrene have to undergo amputation and become disabled.

3. The early stage of the lesion of the old rotten leg is manifested as the pale foot when the lower limbs are raised, the dorsum of the foot is cold, the pulse of the dorsalis pedis artery is weakened or even disappears, intermittent claudication, and then simply cannot walk, the pain is unbearable when walking, and the pain is also at rest in the future, and the patient can sleep all night due to unbearable pain in severe cases.

4. Those old rotten leg ulcers that have been in a long time, have a large range, and have infected bones should be grasped quickly. If the ulcer becomes cancerous, it must be amputated.

1. Old rotten legs may cause osteomyelitis.

In front of the middle and lower part of the lower leg, there is a bone under the skin, and once an ulcer occurs, if it does not heal for a long time, it may invade the bone, expose the flesh and bones, and then become infected and form chronic osteomyelitis. Some patients do not heal for several years, but more than ten years, and the ulcers are dripping with pus.

2. Old rotten legs may cause lymphangitis.

Acute lymphangitis is an acute inflammation of the lymphatic vessels and their surrounding tissues caused by the spread of pathogenic bacteria from a broken** or foci of infection into adjacent lymphatic vessels. Due to the long-lasting ulcer of the old rotten leg, the pathogenic bacteria spread from the infection to the adjacent lymphatic vessels, which can cause lymphangitis and its surrounding tissues due to secondary infection.

3. Old rotten legs may cause cancer.

The characteristics of old rotten legs are that they do not heal for a long time, and it is easy to heal after healing, and there is a possibility of malignant transformation if the ulcer is repeated or the ulcer does not heal for many years, which is the so-called cancer. So be timely and correct.

4. Old rotten legs may cause erysipelas.

Erysipelas is more common in the lower limbs and face. Old rotten leg is a chronic ** ulcer that develops in the middle and lower part of the calf. Because the ulcer does not heal for a long time, the pathogenic bacteria spread from the foci of infection to the adjacent reticulolymphatic vessels and perilymphatic tissues, and secondary infection causes erysipelas.

5. Old rotten legs can lead to amputation.

Old rotten leg is a common complication of venous lesions of the lower extremities, mainly chronic ** ulcers in the middle and lower segments of the lower legs. Generally, it does not lead to amputation, but when the old rotten leg is complicated by severe osteomyelitis and cancer, amputation surgery is needed to save life.

1. In the early stage, patients with old rotten legs will appear, it will be difficult to walk around or even unable to walk, and the condition will expand again and even when resting will be caused by strong pain, and in more serious cases, patients can toss and turn because of unbearable pain and sleeplessness.

2. With the longer the history of present illness, the pain and ulcers in the lower limbs of old patients with rotten legs can be mainly manifested as intermittent claudication and necrosis of the lower limbs and feet from wide to severe.

3. The condition of the old rotten leg is further developed, in the inner calf of the affected side, on both sides, in front of the tibia, behind the tibia, and in the ankle, the lower limbs can be necrotic on the soles of the feet, the muscles are stiff and very easy to break the skin, and the wound is not well treated, and the situation is serious and forced to accept high amputation and disability.

4. The ulcer surface of the old rotten leg in the middle and late stages is getting bigger and bigger, and the old rotten leg ulcer with infected bones should be treated quickly. A very small number of ulcers that are difficult to heal for many years, when the wound is a cauliflower-like vegetation, it is more common to see lesions, and the ulcer becomes cancerous, otherwise it will seriously endanger the patient's life and cause serious damage.

1. Patients with old rotten legs in the early stage will appear, difficult to walk or even unable to walk, the disease continues to expand, and even when resting, it is also caused by severe pain, and in severe cases, patients can be unable to sleep all night due to unbearable pain. 2. With the longer the course of the disease, patients with old rotten legs will have pain and ulcers in the lower limbs, which can be manifested as intermittent claudication and necrosis of the lower limbs and feet from mild to severe. 3. The condition of the old rotten leg further develops, the ulcer on the inner and outer side of the calf, the anterior tibia, the back of the tibia, and the ankle of the affected limb, necrosis can occur on the lower limbs, especially on the feet, and the stiff and easy to break the skin and ulcerate, and the wound ulcer cannot be healed for a long time, and the severe case has to undergo amputation and become disabled.

4. The ulcer surface of the old rotten leg is getting bigger and bigger in the later stage, and the old rotten leg ulcer with infected bones should be grasped tightly. A small number of ulcers that have not healed for many years, when the wound is cauliflower-shaped, are mostly cancerous, and the ulcer becomes cancerous, otherwise it will endanger the patient's life and cause great harm.

Old rotten legs are mainly due to the increase in venous vascular pressure in the lower limbs, resulting in dynamic changes in blood flow, blood blockage and phlebitis, which makes blood flow slow, blockage, stasis, thickening of blood vessel walls, intimal hyperplasia, lumen narrowing, thrombosis, resulting in local tissue ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis, and ulceration due to trauma and skin ulceration. In view of the fact that many patients with old rotten legs understand the dangers of old rotten legs, they do not bring great pain to themselves in time.
