Diabetic foot (diabetic foot ulcer) is a complication of diabetes in which an ulcer (sore) forms on the foot and does not heal well. If it is not detected early and treated appropriately, amputation of the foot or leg may become necessary. If you have diabetes, check your feet often, and do not leave even a small wound unattended; please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Lower extremity arterial disease occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the legs become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow and causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, and delayed wound healing. Delayed diagnosis can lead to serious complications, so please be sure to consult a medical specialist if you experience any unusual symptoms in your legs.2026-06-26

Stroke

Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures. A blocked blood vessel is called a cerebral infarction, and a ruptured one is called a cerebral hemorrhage. If symptoms appear, going to the emergency room immediately is the most important way to reduce aftereffects. Stroke is also closely related to dementia. The main symptom of stroke is the loss of a specific bodily function, such as paralysis of the arms or legs. The most important factor in treatment is the golden time (the critical time window for treatment), so please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis. If abnormal symptoms appear, call 119 (Korea's emergency number) or go to the emergency room immediately.2026-06-26
