More Than a Symptom:
The Impact of Wound Exudate and Malodour
Wound exudate and malodour are complex and often interrelated symptoms that can have a significant impact on a patient’s quality of life.
Recent surveys of patients and clinicians found that malodour is the second most distressing wound symptom after pain.[1] Patients reported that malodour causes embarrassment, anxiety and low self-esteem, often leading to social withdrawal. Its impact extends beyond the patient, also affecting families, carers and clinicians, who may experience feelings of revulsion or uncertainty when managing malodorous wounds.
