Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, develop when prolonged pressure reduces blood flow to the skin and underlying tissue. They most commonly occur in people who spend long periods of time in bed or in a wheelchair.

The good news? Many bed sores can be prevented with proper care.

Early detection is key. If you notice redness that doesn't go away, skin breakdown, or an open wound, don't wait to seek treatment. Bed sores can worsen quickly and become difficult to heal if left untreated.

At Encompass Healthcare, we specialize in treating pressure ulcers, bed sores, and other chronic wounds with advanced wound care solutions designed to promote healing and prevent complications. If you or a loved one has a bed sore, schedule an appointment today and let our expert team help you heal.

Even a small wound can become infected if harmful bacteria enter the skin and begin to multiply.

If you think your wound may be infected, don't ignore it. Keep the wound clean and covered, follow your healthcare provider's instructions, and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Early treatment can help prevent the infection from spreading and improve your chances of healing.

Most stomach bugs improve within a few days. Cyclosporiasis is different.

Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks—or even come and go for over a month. Persistent diarrhea, fatigue, and dehydration can make it difficult to work, travel, or enjoy summer activities.

If your symptoms aren't improving, it may be time to look deeper.

As an infectious disease specialist, Dr. Bruce Ruben can help diagnose and treat cyclosporiasis so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

Don't spend the rest of the summer waiting for symptoms to disappear on their own.
