Treatment involves surgery and antibiotics, and early diagnosis is crucial for a good prognosis. Prevention includes proper wound care and seeking medical attention at the first sign of infection. In […]
Gas gangrene is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that causes tissue death and requires surgery to remove damaged tissue.

Gangrene is tissue death caused by a lack of blood supply. Symptoms vary by type, with wet and dry being the main types. Dry gangrene is caused by poor blood flow and progresses slowly, while wet gangrene is caused by infection and progresses rapidly. Gas gangrene is a type of wet gangrene caused by a […]
Fournier gangrene is a necrotizing infection that affects the penis and surrounding areas, caused by an underlying infection. Early symptoms include redness, pain, and swelling, and if left untreated, the infection can spread and become fatal. Treatment involves antibiotics and surgery to remove infected tissue.
