Precautions for intracranial aneurysms include controlling the primary disease and risk factors, such as taking blood pressure-lowering medications and lipid-regulating medications as prescribed, and following up regularly to avoid bad habits and reduce the risk of rupture and bleeding.
Once an intracranial aneurysm is formed, simple medication cannot eliminate the aneurysm, but certain medications can be used to control risk factors and reduce the risk of rupture and bleeding.
If the patient’s blood pressure is not well controlled, antihypertensive medication (nifedipine, enalapril, etc.) can be applied to make the blood pressure fall smoothly. If the patient’s blood lipid is high, statin drugs (atorvastatin calcium, etc.) can be considered to reduce blood lipid treatment. The medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
Patients with intracranial aneurysm should also pay attention to regular checkups to observe changes in the size and shape of the aneurysm. At the same time, patients should avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, coughing violently, straining to defecate, being emotional and engaging in heavy physical labor.
Specific precautions and medication for intracranial aneurysm can be consulted with the local attending physician.
