01 — The struggle

How Mala felt before treatment — pain, fear & helplessness

Mala, 65 · Chromepet, Chennai

Mala, a 65-year-old woman from Chromepet, Chennai, had been living with Type 2 diabetes for several years when a small blister on her left foot turned into a deep, infected diabetic foot ulcer. By the time she arrived at MedizinHub and came under the care of Dr. Prateep, MBBS on January 20, 2024, the wound had been open for weeks — refusing to heal, worsening day by day, and threatening her ability to ever walk normally again.

Jan 20, 2024 — Day 1

✖Constant burning pain in the foot, even at rest

✖Unable to walk or stand without severe discomfort

✖Foul-smelling wound with discharge — infection spreading

✖Sleepless nights, exhausted by throbbing wound pain

✖Deep fear of amputation — felt hopeless and helpless

Mar 15, 2024 — Day 54

✓Wound fully closed — zero pain, zero discharge

✓Walking independently around Chromepet again

✓Energy restored — back to all household activities

✓Sleeping soundly through the night, completely pain-free

✓Relief and joy — family's fear of amputation completely gone

"Every night I cried looking at my foot. I thought they would cut it off. I had given up hope. Coming to MedizinHub changed everything."

02 — Before & after

The wound transformation — January 20 to March 15, 2024

These images show the real progression of Mala's diabetic foot ulcer care at MedizinHub, Chromepet — from a deep infected wound on Day 1 to complete skin closure at discharge on March 15, 2024. No surgery. No amputation. 54 days of expert-led wound care

03 — The treatment

3-pillar diabetic ulcer protocol at MedizinHub

MedizinHub designed a precise, medically supervised combination of intravenous antibiotic therapy, oral diabetic medication, and advanced wound dressing for Mala. This 54-day protocol treated the root causes — infection, blood sugar, and tissue repair — simultaneously.

IV antibiotic injections — deep infection control

Intravenous antibiotics administered from Day 1 to eliminate deep-tissue infection, prevent sepsis, and create a clean wound environment. Culture-guided therapy by Dr. Prateep ensured targeted antibiotic selection for Mala's specific pathogen profile.

Oral diabetic tablets — blood glucose control

Optimised oral hypoglycaemic medication kept Mala's blood sugar within the therapeutic healing range throughout the 54-day programme. At 65, blood glucose management is the single most critical factor in diabetic wound healing.

Continuous advanced wound dressing

Scheduled dressing changes using antimicrobial, moisture-retentive dressings promoted granulation and healthy tissue formation. Regular debridement cleared necrotic tissue at each visit, guiding the wound to full skin closure by March 15.

04 — The results

What Mala achieved by March 15, 2024

On March 15, 2024 — exactly 54 days after her first consultation at MedizinHub — Mala's diabetic foot ulcer was fully healed with healthy skin coverage. No amputation. No surgical procedure. No skin graft. The 65-year-old walked out of MedizinHub, Chromepet on her own feet — something she had feared she would never do again.

"On March 15, Dr. Prateep showed me my foot and said — it's healed. I touched it and couldn't believe it. I started crying. Two months ago I thought I'd lose my foot. Today I walked home to Chromepet on my own."
