Patient's question:
Previously, my uncle looked quite healthy. He was very particular about his daily routine and diet. However, last Tuesday, he was diagnosed with a stroke. My uncle and his family couldn't believe it. They wanted to get a second opinion at a larger hospital. Do larger hospitals have a Neurology Department? Which department should we register under?Doctor's answer:
Most strokes are caused by multiple factors such as cerebral arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, mental and neurological factors, unhealthy lifestyles, and dietary habits. In recent years, the incidence rate has shown an increasing trend. If treatment is not timely or appropriate, it can easily lead to the recurrence of sequelae such as speech or limb movement disorders, and in severe cases, it can even be life-threatening. Active treatment is quite necessary.A stroke is a disease of the neurology department. To seek follow-up treatment at the hospital, you need to make an appointment with the neurology department.
