As a result, these wounds, which cannot be nourished by adequate blood supply, can become chronic. Chronic wounds due to arterial blockage can lead to severe consequences, including limb loss in advanced cases. Therefore, it is crucial to control risk factors such as smoking, high cholesterol, and <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"822\">arteriosclerosis<\/strong> that lead to arterial blockages.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7112045 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7112045\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Venous Disorders (Varicose Veins and Venous Ulcers)\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85a26fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85a26fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from the legs back to the heart. <strong data-start=\"131\" data-end=\"245\">When the valve in the veins weakens or varicose veins develop, blood pools in the legs and pressure increases.<\/strong> In this situation, the skin and tissue cannot receive enough oxygen.

Advanced age, poor nutrition, serious illnesses like cancer, or the use of certain medications such as corticosteroids can weaken the immune system. In individuals with weakened immunity, the body struggles to repair wounds, fighting infections becomes more difficult, and healing times are prolonged. For example, simple wounds in individuals undergoing cancer treatment or those with chronic diseases may take longer to heal than usual. Additionally, factors that affect overall health, such as obesity (excess weight) and smoking, increase the risk of chronic wounds. Obesity increases the load on the wound and the oxygen demand in the tissue, while also impairing blood circulation; smoking narrows the blood vessels, reducing oxygenation, and disrupts collagen production, which is essential for wound healing. Therefore, in patients with chronic wounds, regulating nutrition, providing vitamin\/protein support when necessary, and quitting harmful habits are crucial steps to accelerate healing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf3a712 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bf3a712\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/kadirceviker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo23.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1553\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kadirceviker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo23.webp 1200w, https:\/\/kadirceviker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo23-300x125.webp 300w, https:\/\/kadirceviker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo23-1024x427.webp 1024w, https:\/\/kadirceviker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/photo23-768x320.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdbe239 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bdbe239\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prolonged Pressure and Bed (Pressure) Sores\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0856568 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0856568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong data-start=\"49\" data-end=\"67\">Pressure sores<\/strong>, commonly seen in patients with limited mobility or bedridden individuals, are another significant cause of chronic wounds. <strong data-start=\"192\" data-end=\"329\">Continuous lying down or sitting in a wheelchair applies pressure from body weight to certain areas of the skin for extended periods.<\/strong> These pressure points are most commonly found on areas like the tailbone, hips, heels, and back. This pressure reduces blood flow to the skin, causing tissue damage. Initially, pressure sores appear as redness and discoloration of the skin, but if no precautions are taken, they can deepen into open wounds. If these wounds become infected, their treatment becomes even more difficult. The most important step in preventing and treating pressure sores is <strong data-start=\"785\" data-end=\"820\" data-is-only-node=\"\">relieving or reducing pressure.<\/strong> To achieve this, the patient\u2019s position should be changed frequently, special pressure-relieving beds and cushions should be used, and the skin should be kept clean and dry. If bedsores have already developed, appropriate wound care (such as cleaning dead tissue, infection control, and using moist wound dressings) should be performed by evaluating the wound stage.

In large and deep injuries or high-degree burns, tissue struggles to regenerate, and wounds that would normally take weeks to heal can become chronic. For example, a third-degree burn may heal very slowly due to the risk of infection and significant tissue loss. Similarly, surgical wounds that do not heal properly, or those that become infected due to stitches or the patient\u2019s underlying conditions, can also transform into <strong data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"731\">chronic wounds<\/strong> that do not close.

For example, if a leg wound is caused by arterial blockage, improving circulation (possibly through surgery), lowering blood sugar in diabetic wounds, or reducing pressure in pressure sores by repositioning the patient, are the first steps. Local treatments without addressing the underlying cause will be insufficient.<\/p><p data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"1398\"><strong data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"485\">Local wound care<\/strong> forms the foundation of every chronic wound treatment. In this process, the wound is evaluated for signs of infection and cleaned appropriately. If dead tissue is present, it is removed through a procedure called <strong data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"714\">debridement<\/strong>, using surgical instruments or special solutions, to encourage the healing of healthy tissue. <strong data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"841\">In the presence of infection<\/strong>, antibiotics and antiseptic solutions are used as per the doctor&#8217;s recommendation. Modern wound dressings (hydrogels, foams, alginates, etc.) are used to maintain the proper moisture balance. The goal is to ensure that the wound is neither too dry, which may cause scabbing, nor too wet, which can lead to skin maceration. Every chronic wound is unique; therefore, the treatment plan, including <strong data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1259\">dressing frequency<\/strong> and the materials used, should be determined by healthcare professionals based on the wound&#8217;s characteristics and the patient&#8217;s condition.<\/p><p data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"2142\">Additionally, <strong data-start=\"1414\" data-end=\"1460\">supporting the patient&#8217;s overall condition<\/strong> is crucial. Wound healing involves the entire body. Adequate protein and vitamin intake should be ensured (and a dietitian\u2019s support should be sought if necessary), and chronic diseases (such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, anemia) should be treated and kept under control. If the patient smokes, they should be supported in quitting, as toxins in cigarette smoke damage blood vessels and hinder oxygen transport, slowing down healing. To improve circulation, exercises or physical therapy methods can be implemented with the doctor&#8217;s recommendation. When all these general measures are combined with local wound care, the chances of healing a chronic wound significantly increase.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b0161d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0b0161d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f002c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f002c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Wound, Diabetic Foot, Regenerative Medicine - Exosome FAQs<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e10c7e elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"0e10c7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
