Several factors can contribute to poor wound healing:
Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can impair circulation and immune response. Infection: Bacterial contamination can delay healing and cause additional tissue damage. Poor Nutrition: Lack of essential nutrients like protein, vitamin C, and zinc can slow down the healing process. Age: Older adults often have slower and less efficient wound healing due to reduced cellular activity. Medications: Certain drugs, like corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, can impair the body's ability to repair tissues. Immobilization: Reduced movement can lead to decreased blood flow and delayed healing.
