Patient's question:
Listen to a friend said that she has been having some headaches recently, and when combing her hair in the morning, she noticed a small lump on her head. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was said to be a problem of vascular malformation. What are the dietary recommendations for patients with vascular malformations?Doctor's answer:
If a thorough CT examination leads to a misdiagnosis of the disease, it is recommended to perform a detailed MRI examination before treatment to confirm the nature of the disease. Assistance is needed to send the MRI images. This type of pathology is primarily seen in demyelinating brain disease or late-onset brain disease. The issue of central microvascular malformations must be given due attention. Regarding the central microvascular malformations you mentioned, here is an explanation. Currently, medication can be used to stabilize microcirculation. To treat carotid artery plaques, we must first actively control blood sugar and blood lipids, and secondly, change unhealthy lifestyles by eating more vegetables and fruits, whole grains and legumes, and reducing the intake of fatty foods such as eggs and fats as much as possible, eating a low-salt diet, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and increasing physical activity.
