What causes cerebral hemorrhage in women?

Due to our long-term unfamiliar living and eating habits, cerebral hemorrhage has become more frequent, and the proportion of women among cerebral hemorrhage patients has been increasing continuously. So if a woman suffers from cerebral hemorrhage, what is the reason? How will it manifest in our daily lives? Let me analyze it for you.

Causes

The common cause is hypertension combined with small arteriosclerosis. Others include cerebral vascular malformations, aneurysms, blood diseases, vasculitis, tumor stroke, etc. Excessive exertion, climate change, drinking, emotional excitement, overwork, etc. are the triggering factors.

Clinical manifestations

1. Movement and language disorders

The most common movement disorder is hemiplegia; the main speech disorders are aphasia and slurred speech.

2. Vomiting

About half of the patients experience vomiting, which may be related to increased intracranial pressure, vertigo, and irritation of the meninges by blood during cerebral hemorrhage.

3. Impairment of consciousness

It manifests as drowsiness or coma, the degree of which is related to the location, amount and speed of cerebral hemorrhage. Large amounts of bleeding in deep parts of the brain within a short period of time will most likely result in impaired consciousness.

4. Eye symptoms

Anisocoria often occurs in patients with increased intracranial pressure; there may also be hemianopsia and eye movement disorders. For example, patients with cerebral hemorrhage often stare at the bleeding side of the brain with both eyes during the acute phase.

5. Headache and dizziness

Headache is the first symptom of cerebral hemorrhage, often located on the side of the head with bleeding; when there is increased intracranial pressure, the pain can spread to the entire head. Dizziness often accompanies headache, especially when bleeding occurs in the cerebellum or brain stem.

examine

1. CT examination

A cranial CT scan can clearly show the location of bleeding, the amount of bleeding, the shape of the hematoma, whether it has broken into the ventricle, and whether there is a low-density edema band and space-occupying effect around the hematoma. The lesions are mostly round or oval uniform high-density areas with clear boundaries. When a large amount of blood accumulates in the ventricles, they often appear as high-density casts and the ventricles are enlarged. One week later, there is a ring-shaped enhancement around the hematoma, and the hematoma becomes low-density or cystic after absorption. Dynamic CT examination can also evaluate the progression of bleeding.

2. MRI and MRA examinations

It is better than CT scan in detecting structural abnormalities, detecting bleeding foci in the brainstem and cerebellum, and monitoring the evolution of cerebral hemorrhage, but is not as good as CT scan in diagnosing acute cerebral hemorrhage.

3. Other examinations

Including blood routine, blood biochemistry, coagulation function, electrocardiogram and chest X-ray examination. Peripheral white blood cells may temporarily increase, blood sugar and urea nitrogen levels may also temporarily increase, and abnormal thromboplastin time and partial thromboplastin time indicate coagulation dysfunction.

The above are the symptoms and manifestations that we can understand when women have cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, it is recommended that everyone must pay attention to their emotions, because cerebral hemorrhage is generally caused by sudden emotional fluctuations, so it is recommended that everyone stay calm.
