Ulcers/ Diabetic foot | अल्सर/ मधुमेह पाय
Diabetic foot and ulcers are serious health concerns. Diabetes-related complications like न्युरोपॅथी (Neuropathy) and रक्तवाहिन्यांच्या आजार (Vascular Disease) increase the risk of diabetic foot, while ulcers cause open sores on the skin or internal tissues. Untreated, these conditions can lead to severe complications.
