Diabetics can get even minor injuries, but they can spread to the bones!
August 10, 2026

Phnom Penh — For diabetic patients, minor injuries such as a nail cut or a footwear scrape should never be overlooked. If neglected, these small wounds can progress into rotting ulcers, rapidly spreading from the skin into the muscle and down to the bone—the most dangerous stage that can ultimately lead to amputation. The main causes are reduced nerve sensation (decreased pain awareness) combined with poor blood circulation and a weakened immune system in diabetic patients, making wounds prone to infection and difficult to heal on their own.

Emergency Warning Signs: Wounds that take a long time to heal, severe redness and swelling, a foul odor, or pus drainage. To address these concerns, Orienda Hospital is pleased to offer examination and treatment services for chronic wounds, including those affecting the bone, provided by a team of specialist doctors with years of experience.
With a strong commitment to saving patient limbs and lives, Orienda Hospital is equipped with:
- Modern Medical Technology: Enables precise diagnosis of the extent of bone involvement.
- Standardized Treatment Methods: Proper wound and damaged bone cleaning (debridement), combined with targeted antibiotics to halt spread and accelerate healing.

Do not let a minor wound become a major regret! If you or your family members have diabetes and suffer a wound, please seek timely consultation and treatment with specialist doctors at Orienda Hospital.
