Patient's question:
At the age of 55, will hypertensive patients taking antihypertensive drugs cause purulent ulcers in the legs and unable to heal wounds? Will antihypertensive drugs cause purulent ulcers in the legs?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypertension taking antihypertensive medications will never develop lower extremity ulcers. However, if the blood pressure of patients with hypertension is not well controlled, or if diabetes leads to elevated blood sugar and second-order neuron vasculitis, a thorough examination and diagnosis are necessary. If the vasculitis is caused by the ulcers, symptomatic treatment should be administered. If the vasculitis is caused by the lower extremity ulcers, traditional Chinese herbal medicine Si Miao Yong An Decoction (modified) can be used for treatment.
