Cerebral infarction is a relatively big concept, there are several categories, the common ones are cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism, I don't know which one your family member belongs to.
Separately
The cerebral thrombosis indicates that the patient himself has the conditions for the formation, what conditions? First of all, the cerebral vascular disease, mostly cerebral atherosclerosis, atherosclerotic plaque formation and lead to blood vessel narrowing, and secondly, the blood viscosity increases, that is, easy to cause blood vessel blockage. This process is quite long, so it is good for the elderly, long-term high blood fat people.
Cerebral embolism is simply the formation of other blood vessels after the fall of the embolus, through the blood circulation and finally blocked in the cerebral blood vessels, resulting in a series of symptoms, but according to the embolism part of the different conditions vary, the onset of the sudden onset of the characteristics of his, and suffer from other diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and so on.
Here I will talk about cerebral thrombosis in detail, because this disease is more common
After the formation of cerebral thrombosis, if there is no timely thrombolysis, the area governed by the blocked blood vessel will undergo ischemic necrosis, which is an irreversible pathological change. Acute necrotic tissue will cause the surrounding inflammatory edema, edema parts of the brain cells are not necrotic, through the treatment is able to regain part of the function, general patients hospitalized during the occurrence of cerebral infarction is for this part of the pathological changes in the treatment.
There is one more thing to say, the necrotic part of the brain tissue function is still lost, so there will be corresponding dysfunction, such as hemiplegia, crooked mouth, etc., but you don't have to worry too much, most of the function of the human brain is not developed, that part of the necrotic brain cell function can be strengthened through the function of the exercise, there will be other brain cells out of part of the replacement of his function, which is part of the, not all, so you will find that the patient's brain cell function. Not all, so you will find that the patient has a process from the onset of light to heavy, and then from heavy to light.
I don't know if I made myself clear. From mild to severe because the brain cell necrosis caused more brain cells around the edema, affecting more functions, this is a process, and when the edema disappears, the edema brain cell function can be restored, which means that the process from severe to mild, and then look at the functional exercise, many people will be able to return to the state of life can be self-care.
The front said so much, now say you want to know the treatment
Simply put, cerebral thrombosis treatment focuses on the elimination of cerebral edema, to protect the brain function, most of this stage is completed in the hospital; the late treatment focuses on preventing the infarction, so that the purpose of our treatment is clear: 1, anticoagulant; 2, lowering the blood lipids;
According to the family's individual income The situation to determine it to give you a prescription:
1, anticoagulation: aspirin enteric-coated tablets (cheap, the effect is clear, ready to eat a generation it, do not have to stop, unless there is a serious gastrointestinal reaction) or clopidogrel (a little expensive, the average person can not afford to eat, the effect of the same as aspirin, just gastrointestinal reaction is smaller)
2, lowering the lipid level: atorvastatin (statin, preventive medicine), normal blood fat can also be taken for a long time.
Other medications are on their own, don't believe too much in what medicines you eat will be good and such deceptive advertisements, according to pathological changes, anticoagulant and lipid-lowering treatments have been enough, the other is to strengthen the functional exercise, the best case scenario can be restored to the life of the self-care it.
This is a little bit of insight into the treatment of cerebral infarction since I have been a doctor, all hand-typed out, a little messy, I do not know if I can help you.
