What Causes Gangrene?

Gangrene typically develops due to poor circulation, infection, or trauma. Common causes include:

  • Diabetes & Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Restricted blood flow leads to tissue death.
  • Severe Infections:Bacterial infections can destroy tissue rapidly.
  • Blood Clots & Vascular Disorders:Blocked arteries prevent oxygen supply to tissues.
  • Trauma & Frostbite:Injuries causing extensive tissue damage.

Signs & Symptoms of Gangrene

Recognizing gangrene early is crucial for saving the affected limb. Look out for these warning signs:

  • Discoloration: Skin turns black, blue, purple, or green.
  • Severe Pain or Numbness:Initially painful, followed by loss of sensation.
  • Foul-Smelling Discharge: Bad odor due to infected tissue.
  • Swelling & Blisters: Fluid-filled sores or pus formation.
  • Cold & Dry Skin: Affected area feels cold with no blood flow.

Types of Gangrene

Recognizing gangrene early is crucial for saving the affected limb. Look out for these warning signs:

1. Dry Gangrene

  • Caused by reduced blood flow (ischemia) without infection.
  • Affected tissue becomes dry, shriveled, and dark brown/black.
  • Common in diabetics and people with vascular diseases.

2. Wet Gangrene

  • Caused by bacterial infection in addition to poor blood flow.
  • Tissue becomes swollen, blistered, and produces pus.
  • Spreads rapidly and requires urgent medical treatment.

3. Gas Gangrene

  • Caused by Clostridium bacteria, producing gas within tissues.
  • Affected area is swollen, painful, and emits a foul-smelling gas.
  • Can be life-threatening if not treated immediately.

4. Internal Gangrene

  • Affects internal organs like intestines, gallbladder, or appendix.
  • Caused by blood supply blockage due to hernia, infection, or clot.
  • Symptoms include severe pain, fever, and organ failure.

5. Fournier’s Gangrene

  • A rare but severe gangrene affecting the genital and perineal area.
  • Often caused by bacterial infection in immunocompromised individuals.
  • Requires immediate surgical removal of infected tissue.

6. Meleney’s Gangrene (Progressive Bacterial Synergistic Gangrene)
