Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease, divided into hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke, with ischemic stroke being the main cause in China. Ischemic stroke mainly manifests as cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism, while hemorrhagic stroke manifests as cerebral hemorrhage due to intracranial hemorrhage. Other symptoms include sudden onset of numbness in one side of the face, arm or leg, sudden fainting and unconsciousness, or sudden onset of tilting of the mouth and eyes, hemiplegia, confusion, difficulty in speaking or understanding, difficulty in seeing with one or both eyes, difficulty in walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, severe unexplained headache, fainting, etc. Do you believe the following rumors about stroke prevention and treatment? 1. Does bloodletting work? The Internet rumor of first aid stroke method shows that: stroke (regardless of brain hemorrhage or embolism), crooked mouth and eyes, immediately take a sewing needle to puncture the lowermost point of the patient’s earlobes, squeeze out a drop of blood each, the patient immediately cured, and does not leave any after-effects. In fact, this approach is not reliable. Although TCM does have bloodletting therapy, it applies to cases where a person is in shock or has a high fever and can use needling and bloodletting therapy for first aid, which can relieve symptoms by stimulating acupuncture points. However, it is seldom heard of stabbing the earlobe for first aid stroke. The correct approach should be to let the patient lie down, try not to move, loosen their clothes to keep the whistle smooth, and call 120 emergency number in time. 2.Can infusion be prevented in spring and autumn? Some people think that spring and autumn can prevent strokes, and every year in the spring and autumn, there are many elderly people lining up to go to the hospital for infusion, thinking that this can reduce blood viscosity, unclogging the blood vessels, thus preventing strokes, is it true? In fact, this view is wrong and has no scientific basis. First of all, the causes of stroke and re-stroke are age, genetics, hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcohol, obesity, drugs, diet and other factors, and any behavior that does not intervene from the above causative factors is unlikely to have a preventive effect. Second, infusion complications may occur during infusion and even produce serious adverse effects, and infusion increases blood volume, which may induce or aggravate disease in patients with underlying diseases such as heart disease. Stroke prevention is a long-term process and will not work for short-term infusions. When a stroke occurs, it is important to seek medical attention in a timely manner and not to believe rumors that may delay the disease.
