Patient's question:
I had a headache 3 days ago and went to the hospital for a brain CT. It was mild hydrocephalus, and the doctor prescribed intravenous drip of mannitol and Xingnaojing.Doctor's answer:
Mild hydrocephalus is a late-onset brain disease. The cause of its onset is that the affected nerves, due to prolonged ischemia, cannot supply blood to the area they innervate, leading to impaired ability to metabolize cerebrospinal fluid autonomously. Whether the condition can be controlled and further progression prevented depends on analyzing the clinical data to determine effective treatment measures. Otherwise, the disease may lead to more severe late-onset neuroatrophy, resulting in dementia and paralysis.The treatment plan involves a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to enhance and improve microcirculation in the affected nerve area, thereby nourishing the nerves. At the same time, drugs that promote nerve regeneration are used to excite and activate paralyzed nerves, enabling their regeneration and repair to restore various functions. The key to recovery lies in early treatment. If you need assistance, please provide an MRI scan for guidance.
