Best doctor for brain hemorrhage in pitampura - Brain Hemorrhage: Causes and Treatments

 

   Braun hemorrhage is one of the most dangerous conditions that a human being can encounter, and rightly so since internal bleeding related to our brain can be fatal. 

There are many causes of brain hemorrhage that will be discussed further down this blog, but basically, a brain hemorrhage means the bleeding of our brain. This can result in damage to brain tissues and hemorrhage strokes. 

There are also 4 different types of Brain Hemorrhage:

1. Intracerebral hemorrhage- Bleeding inside the brain.

2. Subdural hemorrhage- Bleeding in the inner layer of Dura and above the Brain.

3. Subarachnoid hemorrhage- Bleeding between the brain and the membrane.

4. Epidural hemorrhage- Bleeding between the skull and the brain.

All of these types are extremely complex and need to be treated immediately.

Cause of Brain Hemorrhage

There are many factors that come into play when Brain Hemorrhage is involved but they can be summed up as:

• Major Head Injuries

• High Blood Pressure

• Drug Consumption

• Brain Tumor

• Blood disorders

• Weak Brain Arteries

All of the above can be a cause for a Brain Hemorrhage and it is recommended to consult a neurologist periodically if you suffer from any of the above conditions.

How to Know if You Have Brain Hemorrhage?

The best way to diagnose brain hemorrhage would be to consult a neurosurgeon and get a CT or an MRI scan. These medical tests are a sure-shot way of knowing what is going on the inside of your brain.

There are other tests as well that a neurologist can perform for you, but matching your condition with the symptoms of brain hemorrhage can also be the way to go.

Symptoms of brain hemorrhage include:

• Problems with vision

• Severe Headaches

• Sudden Headaches

• Confusion

• Lethargy

• Difficulty in speaking

• Seizures

Can You Reduce the Risk of Brain Hemorrhage?

You can through some healthy habits lessen the chances of brain hemorrhage occurring in your skull and they are as follows:

• Maintaining Blood Pressure

• Regular Exercise

• Healthy Diet

• Not Smoking

• Not Drinking

• Protecting Your Brain Whenever Possible

All of the above can not guarantee to bring the risk of Brain Hemorrhage to zero, but they do act as beneficial precautionary measures.

Treatment for Brain Hemorrhage

First on radiology the type, location and amount of clot size parameters are assessed and further management plan decided. If small bleed can be managed conservatively with medications like traumatic subdural or epidural bleed.

But if large bleed or bleed due to weakened arteries like aneurysm rupture, surgery in form of open surgery like craniotomy with or without clipping or by minimally invasive means like coiling or flow diversion (Neurointervention) are wonderful options with good outcomes and prognosis.

After the internal bleeding stops, PT or Physical Therapy is needed to enhance the process of recovery. It is needed by the patient to get his/her physical and mental strength back. Physical Therapy lessens the fatigue experienced by the patient and is a great method for the patient to return to normalcy.

Brain Hemorrhage is bleeding inside the skull, so it can be extremely fatal. Patients need to be monitored closely at all times. Blood pressure, heart rhythms, and breathing are kept under scrutiny, and oxygen is provided to stabilize the patient. Only then it is decided what will be the next step.

Surgery can be performed on patients though not all cases require surgery, many can be treated without one as well. Medications are given to optimize blood pressure and blood flow in the brain, and pain medications are prescribed as well if the patient is awake.

Brain Hemorrhage causes paralysis, vision complications, coma, and memory problems, so it is highly recommended to get a check-up with a neurologist if you feel like you might have a case of Brain Hemorrhage.
