Wound healing can be affected by intrinsic, extrinsic, and iatrogenic factors. Intrinsic factors are related to the overall state of health of the patient, such as age, body type, chronic disease, immunosuppression, nutritional status, and hormonal levels. Extrinsic factors are related to the external environment and conditions of the wound, such as dehydration, blood supply, sepsis, and occlusive dressing. Iatrogenic factors are related to the medical interventions and treatments that can influence wound healing, such as medications, radiation therapy, and surgery. These factors can delay or complicate the wound-healing process by affecting cellular functions, immune response, and tissue repair.
