Non-Healing Leg Wounds and Circulation Issues

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Non-Healing Leg Wounds

Understanding causes and treatment for chronic wounds.

Poor blood circulation, diabetes, infection, or venous disease can prevent adequate oxygen and nutrients from reaching the wound, delaying healing.

›

If a wound does not heal within 2–3 weeks despite care, or worsens, vascular assessment is necessary to rule out circulation problems.

›

Doctors assess pulses, perform Doppler studies, blood tests, and wound evaluation to identify the underlying cause.

›

Treatment may include improving blood flow, wound care, infection control, debridement, and sometimes vascular procedures.

›

Untreated wounds can become infected, deepen, spread, or lead to gangrene and possible amputation.
