Causes of Stroke and Treatment Options

Stroke mainly consists of cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral thrombosis. The cause of cerebral thrombosis is mainly atherosclerosis caused by the three highs, which is often referred to as vascular aging (the three highs are hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia). In addition, bad habits such as smoking and drinking can also accelerate the aging of blood vessels and cause thrombosis. Rare causes include oral contraceptives for women, arteritis, and aneurysms. Hyperhomocysteinemia, also becomes an independent risk factor for cerebrovascular disease. Anti-thrombotic drugs mainly include anti-platelet aggregation drugs, such as aspirin, etc.; drugs that activate blood circulation and resolve blood stasis, such as blood sparing and blood relaxation, etc.; and drugs that regulate lipids and stabilize plaque, such as atorvastatin calcium, etc. The most common cause of cerebral hemorrhage is hypertension. After the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage, patients need to rest in bed, keep a calm state of mind, keep the bowels open, and control blood pressure appropriately, and opt for surgery if necessary.
