Why Do Some Wounds Fail to Heal?
A wound that isn’t showing significant signs of improvement within 2 weeks or fails to heal completely within 8 weeks is considered a chronic wound. Several factors can contribute to delayed healing, such as:
- Poor circulation – Conditions like diabetes, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and venous insufficiency reduce blood flow to the wound.
- Infection – Bacteria can prevent the wound from closing and increase the risk of complications.
- Underlying health conditions – Diabetes, kidney disease, and autoimmune disorders can impair healing.
- Repeated trauma or pressure – Pressure ulcers (bedsores) develop when blood flow is restricted for prolonged periods.
- Smoking & poor nutrition – Lifestyle factors affect the body’s ability to repair itself.
