What is a wound?
A wound is any break in the skin or deep tissue. Normally the skin heals quickly on its own. Wounds that do not heal in the normal phases of wound healing are called chronic wounds. They require extra special care to heal.
This may include special wound care dressings, protein-enriched foods added to your diet, multivitamins, and even a visit to a wound care clinic. Chronic wounds can result from several health factors, including surgical wounds that reopen, pressure injuries from prolonged bed or wheelchair use, diabetes, poor circulation or loss of circulation, autoimmune disease, and more.
Factors that slow down healing:
Several factors can interfere with the body’s ability to heal a wound:
- Poor nutrition
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Chronic health problems like diabetes, heartdisease, and vascular conditions
- Certain medications.
Proper assessment and timely treatment can prevent complications and support better healing outcomes.
