Warning Stroke

Stroke is a disorder of brain function caused by blood flow to the brain is impaired (reduced). As a result, oxygen and nutrients brain be required not completed properly. Since there are two kinds of time, which is an obstruction of blood vessels (thrombi) in the presence of a ruptured blood vessel.

Generally a stroke suffered by the elderly, due to the aging process causes hardening and narrowing of blood vessels (atherosclerosis) and the presence of fats that clog arteries (atherosclerosis). However, some recent cases show an increased incidence of stroke that occurs in adolescence and childbearing age (15-40 years). In this class, stroke is the leading cause of stress, drug abuse, alcohol, heredity and lifestyle unhealthy.

The causes of stroke

In the case of stroke adolescence, genetic factors (heritability) is a major cause of stroke. Frequently encountered cases of stroke caused by blood vessels are fragile and break easily, or blood system disorders, such as hemophilia and thalassemia are passed from parents to patients. So if a family member suffers from diabetes (diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart disease, stroke may be higher in other family members.

Other causes of stroke are foods with high levels of bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) is very high. This Koleserol poorly abundant in junk food or fast food. In addition, other causes of stroke is a lazy habit of exercising and moving, lots of drinking, smoking, use of narcotic and addictive, much less rest time, and prolonged stress. The rupture of blood vessels are also often caused by high blood pressure (hypertension).

Ordinary people can not stop crying because of paralysis of the brain controls the emotions system. He made applicable stroke patients, such as people with mental illness, but this is not the case. This kind of things that must be understood by the patient's family.

There are two major healing process that patients should be followed. The first is the healing of drugs in hospitals. Strict control should be done to maintain levels of bad cholesterol can be lowered and not get up. In addition, patients are also forbidden to eat foods that may trigger a race like junk food and salt (can trigger hypertension).

The second is the healing process of Physiotherapy, exercising the muscles to restore muscle function and communication function to approach its original state. Fisiotherapi Fisiotherapi conducted with instructors, and patients must adhere to the exercise performed. If this is not taken seriously Fisiotherapi, they can lead to permanent paralysis in his limbs who suffered paralysis.

Healing in patients with stroke varies widely. No one can recover completely (100%), some are just only 50%. Healing is a severe stroke or not, the physical condition of the patient, the patient's adherence to undergo the process of healing, perseverance and spirit of the patient to recover, and the support and understanding of all family members of patients. Often found that stroke survivors can recover, but suffered from severe depression because their families do not want to understand and feel very angry against his illness (such as the attitude of the patient does not receive state, the harsh treatment because they have to clean the patient, the nurse handed people who also treat patients for robust, and so on).
