The main precursors of stroke in women include numbness and weakness of the limbs. Stroke is a type of disease caused by rupture of cerebral blood vessels or blockage of cerebral blood vessels. According to the cause of the disease, it can be divided into two different types: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke often occurs in quiet or sleep, and some patients may have the precursor symptoms of limb numbness and weakness. Hemorrhagic strokes often have no prodromal symptoms. For women older than 60 years old, with family history of stroke, hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease, the possibility of stroke is considered when symptoms such as numbness and weakness of the limbs occur. For people with the above symptoms or high risk factors, it is recommended to visit the neurology department in time for regular diagnosis and treatment to avoid delays.
