Why is my wound not healing?
If a patient has a wound that isn’t healing properly, the reason may involve
underlying issues. Underlying issues such as health issues,
medications, ongoing treatments and lifestyle.
If you are battling a chronic health condition, it can lower the body’s ability to
heal. Common conditions that may affect healing, include diabetes,
cancer, pulmonary disease, heart conditions, thyroid issues and GI
diseases, along with cancer treatments such as chemo and radiation can also have a negative impact on your body's ability to heal.
