Patient's question:
My husband suddenly had difficulty speaking 10 days ago. His consciousness is clear, and he can understand what others say, but he cannot express himself. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed it as a stroke caused by cerebral infarction. He was immediately admitted to the hospital for treatment. Now he has been hospitalized for 10 days, and his condition is still improving and worsening. He also cannot write some words and numbers. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
It depends on the area and extent of the infarction. The entire brain is divided into different regions, with some responsible for speech and others for sensory functions. Since your husband cannot speak, it is likely that the language center has been infarcted. By the way, infarction refers to local cerebral edema caused by factors such as blood clots.The doctor asked: In addition to medication for treating cerebral infarction, the patient also needs to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities more often. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
