What treat pressure ulcers?

Treatment for pressure ulcers includes:

* Relieving pressure: This is the most important step in treating pressure ulcers. The pressure that is placed on the ulcer should be relieved as soon as possible to allow it to heal.

* Wound care: The ulcer should be cleaned and dressed regularly to prevent infection and promote healing.

* Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove dead tissue and repair damage to the skin and underlying tissues.

* Medication: Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat infection and pain relievers may be used to relieve pain.

* Nutritional support: A diet rich in protein and vitamins and minerals is important for healing.

* Physical therapy: Physical therapy may be helpful in improving mobility and reducing the risk of developing new pressure ulcers.
