Why is cerebral infarction easy to recur? Can it be cured?

Why is cerebral infarction easy to recur? Can it be cured? As a brain doctor, this question is also a question that everyone often asks me in clinic! Today I will tell you why cerebral infarction is so easy to recur!

As we all know, cerebral infarction is a kind of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and it is also the "first killer" that harms the health of middle-aged and elderly people and even young people. Although the current medical technology has been greatly improved, the probability of returning to normal after cerebral infarction is still relatively low!

Cerebral infarction refers to ischemic necrosis or softening of local brain tissue caused by blood supply disorder, ischemia and hypoxia.

As we all know, the brain is a very important organization of the human body and can be called the "headquarters" of the human body. If something goes wrong here, the harm to the human body will be irreversible.

Many people with cerebral infarction will ask me, "Doctor, when will my family recover?"

To tell the truth, as a doctor, I can't answer you accurately, because the prognosis of cerebral infarction depends on many factors, such as the severity of the disease, rehabilitation training after rehabilitation, daily nursing and so on. But if you want to recover better after cerebral infarction, you must actively cooperate with the doctor to do rehabilitation training, which is very helpful for recovery!

In addition to actively cooperating with doctors to do rehabilitation training, the most important thing is to prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction!

Cerebral infarction is a disease with a very high recurrence rate. I have met many patients in clinic and have been discharged from the hospital, but I was admitted to the hospital again soon because of a cerebral infarction. In fact, even if the cerebral infarction is cured and reaches the discharge target, it is only the disappearance of clinical symptoms!

Cerebral infarction is very similar to diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. It can't be completely cured, because the recurrence of cerebral infarction is still related to the basic cause of cerebral infarction, and it can only be controlled by drugs. Therefore, even if it is treated in time, it may recur, with a recurrence rate of 20%.

The main factors inducing cerebral infarction are hypertension, diabetes, staying up late, smoking and drinking. It can be seen that there are many inducing factors of cerebral infarction, so as long as the cause is not removed, it will always recur! But I want to tell you that the second recurrence of cerebral infarction can be prevented. After the first cerebral infarction, the recurrence usually occurs within one year. As long as you take medicine on time according to the doctor's advice and pay attention to correcting your usual bad habits, the second cerebral infarction can be completely prevented.

Cerebral infarction is easy to recur, but it is not easy to recur. Mainly depends on the individual. If you want to be healthy and avoid the second attack of cerebral infarction, you must get rid of the bad habits in daily life from now on!
