Cerebral infarction is a disease that we are familiar with. It is also called cerebral infarction or stroke. It is common in people over 45 years old, and there is a trend of cerebral infarction in younger people. Cerebral infarction, as the name suggests, is the death of brain tissue due to vascular occlusion. The medical professional explanation is: due to ischemia and hypoxia due to various reasons, local brain tissue nutrition and metabolism are abnormal, and brain tissue necrosis occurs. Cerebral infarction can cause many clinical symptoms, including common hemiplegia, speech difficulties, and disturbance of consciousness. In severe cases, life may be in danger.

Everyone knows that cerebral infarction is not good, and it will cause great troubles in life after suffering from cerebral infarction. However, many people do not understand cerebral infarction, and they are emotionally moved but cannot understand it rationally. Next, let’s talk about cerebral infarction and self-regulation. First, we need to know where it comes from? We are the same people living together, why do some people suffer from cerebral infarction while others do not?

1. The formation of cerebral infarction is the result of many factors. For example, the familiar atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking and obesity are all causes of cerebral infarction. Among the causes of cerebral infarction, atherosclerotic plaque is the most important cause. Its existence causes the blood vessels to narrow, making it difficult for blood to pass through. As time goes by, the blood vessels become narrower and narrower, and eventually blood flow cannot pass through, causing ischemia and hypoxia in the brain tissue, resulting in cerebral infarction.

2. Hypertension is a chronic disease. Year-round high blood pressure causes blood vessels to slowly degenerate (hyalinization), blood vessels lose elasticity and the blood vessel walls continue to thicken. Diabetes and hyperlipidemia are similar. Although there is no physical discomfort on weekdays, they both affect blood pressure, causing substances in the blood (sugar, low-density lipoprotein) to easily accumulate in the intima of blood vessels, causing the blood vessels to continue to grow. thick. Hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and smoking are also causes of atherosclerotic plaque formation. Therefore, cerebral infarction is not caused by a single factor, but by multiple factors that interact and promote each other.

3. Therefore, the incidence of cerebral infarction in patients with the above causes will be several times higher than that in normal people. The clinical symptoms of cerebral infarction are also different. The functional divisions of brain tissue are very fine, and infarction in different parts will cause different clinical symptoms. For example, cerebral infarction in the basal ganglia may lead to impairment of movement of one limb, decreased sensation in one limb, and hemianopsia on one side. Cerebral infarction of the occipital lobe may cause vision loss or visual field defects. Symptoms of cerebellar infarction include instability in holding objects, staggering walking, and dizziness. The severity of symptoms is also closely related to the timing of treatment. The longer the onset time, the more severe the clinical symptoms will be.

4. When clinical symptoms appear, go to the hospital for professional diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. Cerebral infarction is an ischemic disease, and the main problem is ischemia. Early restoration of blood flow to the ischemic site has a very important impact on the recovery and prognosis of the disease. The treatment of cerebral infarction is divided into conservative treatment with drugs and surgical intervention. Cerebral infarction is often caused by vascular occlusion. Drugs or interventional treatments can open the occluded blood vessels and restore blood flow, which can alleviate clinical symptoms. If treated promptly, full recovery is even possible. How should patients with cerebral infarction self-regulate

On the one hand, the treatment of cerebral infarction lies in treatment, which is to restore the blood flow of blood vessels through drugs or interventional surgery; the other is early rehabilitation and self-regulation. If you want to control cerebral infarction and self-regulate, you must start from the cause of cerebral infarction. Work hard to control the basics and do rehabilitation training in the later stages of cerebral infarction. Next, I will tell you in detail.

1. In terms of medical treatment, the most important thing after cerebral infarction is timely and standardized treatment, which can minimize the negative prognosis and is also a guarantee for a healthy life in the future. In the early stage of cerebral infarction, surgery or drug treatment can be used to reduce the harm of cerebral infarction. During the stable period of cerebral infarction, it is mainly through taking drugs (antiplatelet, lipid-lowering and plaque-stabilizing drugs, etc.). The function of these drugs is like a soldier's gun in a war. Without it, it is absolutely impossible. Drug treatment is necessary for cerebral infarction.

2. In terms of personal aspects and disease control. Cerebral infarction mainly involves the control and intervention of underlying diseases. The first thing to mention is the control of high blood pressure, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, limiting the daily intake of salt and sugar-rich foods, eating a light diet, and combining meat and vegetables. These basic diseases are obviously related to daily diet. In addition to the use of medications, the influence of diet is also crucial. When the above basic diseases are controlled, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques will also be greatly reduced. They all affect each other.

Quit smoking and drinking. Smoking is also a very important cause of cerebral infarction. It affects our control of basic diseases and promotes the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Smoking is always harmful but not beneficial. Although the effects of drinking alcohol are unclear, abstaining from alcohol is still recommended. In addition, regarding the control of high blood pressure and diabetes, a recommended electronic blood pressure monitor and blood glucose monitoring device should be prepared to facilitate real-time monitoring of changes in blood pressure and blood sugar, so as to better understand and control blood pressure and blood sugar. Understanding and paying more attention to yourself is also a kind of protection for yourself.

3. In terms of rehabilitation, cerebral infarction can cause symptoms such as limb movement disorders, speech difficulties, and dysphagia. Timely treatment in the hospital is the key, but rehabilitation training is another sharp sword to restore function. It plays an extremely important role in the rehabilitation of patients with cerebral infarction.

First of all, it is clear that all human functions are continuously strengthened through training. After a cerebral infarction, some functions are lost, such as inflexibility or clumsiness of the limb on one side of the limb due to movement disorder. During the recovery stage, we should strengthen the intensive training of this part.

For example, if it is difficult to lift your upper limbs, then exercise as required every day, including how many times you lift your upper limbs and how many times you grab your fists. Through continuous intensive training, although the brain tissue is infarcted, its original function will be compensated by its surrounding brain tissue. The degree of compensation varies from person to person. Through rehabilitation training, the lost functions will slowly be restored. Therefore, rehabilitation training after cerebral infarction must not be ignored.

For cerebral infarction, treatment is only a means. The most important thing is to prevent the occurrence of the disease and nip the signs of cerebral infarction in the cradle. Disease prevention can reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction, reduce the pain of disease experienced by individuals, and reduce the burden on families and society. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "preventing disease is better than curing it." You cannot wait until you become ill before paying attention to it. This shows the importance of disease prevention.
