What are the causes of Bed sore?
Bed sore is one of the very serious diseases that are generally prone to the people who spend most of the time resting on bed or are immobilized due to some reasons.
In bed sores, most of the body pressure is confined to certain body organs like hips, heels, elbows, shoulder blades, etc.
One of the major and common causes of bed sores is moisture, generated from friction with bed sheets and sweating from the body.
What are the treatments of Bed sore?
Bed sore is not an incurable disease. There are several therapies that can cure bed sores:
Herbal Treatment: During herbal treatment, herbal products like aloe vera are used. Herbal medicines, gels, creams or ointments are applied on the affected areas.
Self treatment: You need to minimize the pressure on the affected area of the body. Keep that portion dry and clean. If the condition gets worse then you may use bandages, dressings and other heeling methods.
Diet Control: Start having nutritious food that is enriched with vitamins, minerals like zinc and other important health elements. Drink water as much as you can in order to avoid dehydration. This will help in strengthening the immune system of the body.
As already told that bed sore is a serious disease and that is why one must ignore it at any cost. Also, if anyone finds the symptoms of bed sore then one must consult the doctor straightway. Last but not the least; one must remember that prevention is the best cure. Therefore, stay active to stay healthy.

Bed sore or pressure ulcers usually occurs in bed ridden patients. To prevent it, you should move the patient in different position every 1-2 hours depending on the patient's status. If pressure ulcers already occurs, you can use some Aloe Vera creams and or antibiotics to prevent from further infections of the skin.

Causes Of Bed Sores And Treatment:
Bed sores are skin ulcers that affect those parts of the body that are subjected to pressure over a long period of time. Bed sores appear as swellings and lesions that can be painful and in the long run may hamper blood circulation in certain parts of the body, thereby leading to a chronic and potentially life threatening condition. Bed sores most commonly affect those who are in bed due to chronic ailments or old age, physically handicapped or paralyzed or disabled due to accidents. The regions that are most prone to bed sores are the lower back, hips, buttocks, shoulders, spine, feet and knees. The initial symptoms of bed sores are dark or inflamed skin that does not turn pale on pressing, accompanied by swelling, dampness and foul skin odor. This is followed by the appearance of blisters filled with pus that lead to the loss of outer skin tissue and gradually go deeper down to the muscles and bones, causing painful lesions and greatly increasing the risk of serious infections.
The most effective way of preventing bed sores is to ensure that the patient keeps changing his position at regular intervals so that the pressure on some parts of the body is eased out periodically. Sometimes patients confined to the bed do not realize how frequently they should change their position, especially if they are advanced in years and suffer from decreased levels of consciousness. In such cases, it is imperative that an attendant takes care to shift them in their chair or bed at regular intervals. If the patient also suffers from problems like incontinence, care should be taken to change their clothing whenever they get wet and ensure that the skin is properly dried out before every change of clothing. It is also advisable to dab the moist areas with antibacterial talcum powder to prevent the growth of infection causing germs. Sometimes dehydration and nutritional deficiencies also cause bed ridden patients to develop bed sores, so they should be given plenty of water and fresh fruits and juices to drink. Using a ripple mattress is also a good idea as it ensures better blood circulation and reduces the risk of bed sores. You should also regularly air and sun dry the pillows and mattresses of the patient to kill germs that might cause infection. In consultation with a physiotherapist, administer body massages to the patient to improve his blood circulation and keep his body parts in normal functioning condition.

hi,
recently my autistic sister has to undergo a hip replacement surgery and was hospitalized for 15 days. During that period she developed a pressure sore and until now (almost a month) it is not healing. We are applying betadine and daily dressing and all that stuff but she is in pain and is not able to sleep or eat food. Yesterday we bought a water bed for her, hopefully that should help her with the pain. Since she is autistic she can't talk and let us know what is happening on her side.. so it is very difficult. I was so happy I found this site, so that I can share it with somebody. Thank you.

Bed sores can be very painful. In my experience they are not life-threatening if they are treated early. The best treatment is moving the patient in the bed often in order to avoid pressure spots building up. I've also heard changing the sheets will help a bit.
