Patient's question:
Previously, during the 14-year period of having a brain thrombosis, I experienced two episodes of illness. In 2010, I suffered a stroke. Regarding the current condition: right upper body numbness, difficulty walking requiring assistance, unclear speech, general weakness, minimal movement in the right arm, and inability to move fingers. Bowel movement occurs once a day with small amounts, while urination is normal. The previous two brain thrombosis episodes only caused numbness without any lasting aftereffects. The doctor said this time it is due to a blockage in the brainstem. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In this patient's condition, it is essentially an acute cerebral infarction. The current cerebral infarction is severe. During the hospital stay, intravenous thrombolytic agents such as Tongxinlu and Xingnaojing injection can be administered. If discharged, oral medications can be used for treatment, such as Ginkgo biloba tablets, Ginkgo biloba soft capsules, methylcobalamin capsules, Xuefu Zhuyu oral liquid, and Mianlu Ning oral liquid, among others. Additionally, acupuncture treatment can be used in conjunction to assist in the complete recovery of limb function.For the patient, since the cerebral infarction is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of cerebral infarction. Moreover, the patient should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
