Leg ulcers are open sores that develop on deteriorated areas of the skin. They refer to full-thickness skin loss on the leg or foot due to causes such as poor circulation, bacterial infection, or varicose veins. Ulcers may be provoked by pressure or injury on the calf or the foot.

Leg ulcers may be acute or chronic. Acute ulcers are defined as those that the injuries follow the normal phases of healing in 2-3 weeks. Chronic ulcers are those that the injuries, due to an underlying problem, do not heal, and the affected area increases in size. They need more than 3 weeks to heal.

Leg ulcers are more common in women and in the elderly.

A bed or pressure sore is a deep ulcer caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. This often occurs when a person lies in bed or sits in a chair for a long time restricting circulation. This has as result the cell destruction in the underlying tissue, the breaking down of the skin, and the formation of an open ulcer.

Bedsores are most often found on skin that covers bony areas, such as the heels, ankles, buttocks, hips, sacrum, tailbone, and in every place that the skin can be folded over itself.

Bedsores can develop quickly. Their treatment may be from easy to very hard. For this reason, it is important to inspect daily the skin of the patient in order to prevent them.

The most vulnerable to develop pressure sores are people who stay for a long time in bed or in a wheelchair.

The time before menopause is referred to as perimenopause, and the time after menopause is referred to as postmenopause.

Perimenopause is often accompanied by irregularities in the menstrual cycle. It may begin up to 10 years before the last menstrual period and can onset the typical symptoms of early menopause.

Menopause is not a disease, it is a natural situation in every woman’s life.
