Patient's question:
My father fainted at home at the beginning of this year and was sent to the hospital. After treatment, he was discharged, and the doctor said it was a stroke. He stayed in the hospital for a period of treatment and then discharged. Now he is recovering at home and is doing very well. I would like to ask, what are the routine care measures for stroke patients?Doctor's answer:
A cerebral infarction is the formation of an in situ thrombus within a blood vessel on the basis of cerebral arteriosclerosis, leading to cerebral edema and suppuration of brain tissue. Even after full recovery in the acute phase, my husband still has potential risks such as arteriosclerosis. All patients with cerebral infarction should undergo a thorough examination of the blood vessels as soon as possible. Targeted treatment can be implemented to prevent recurrence and blockage. In addition, attention should be paid to stable blood pressure, a low-salt, low-fat diet, and moderate physical exercise to enhance functional recovery.
