Can cerebral arteriosclerosis be cured? What is the best medicine to take?

Cerebral arteriosclerosis is a part of systemic arteriosclerosis, which is a general term for the degeneration and hardening of the wall of cerebral arteries caused by various factors. Including cerebral atherosclerosis (large and middle arteries), arteriolar sclerosis, and vitreous changes of small arteries, which are often mentioned in medicine, are called cerebral arteriosclerosis. Because the process of arteriosclerosis is quite slow, most patients do not necessarily have clinical symptoms, so it is often easy to be overlooked.

However, with the gradual progression of cerebral arteriosclerosis, brain tissue will soften and necrosis due to ischemia, brain cells will degenerate and die, and finally cerebral atrophy and cerebral arteriosclerotic dementia. In severe cases, severe strokes (cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction) can be life-threatening, and even if they survive, they will have serious sequelae. Therefore, it is very important to recognize and prevent cerebral arteriosclerosis as early as possible.

General**: Attention should be paid to the combination of work and rest, regular life, avoiding emotional agitation and moderate physical exercise. For patients with dementia, mental disorders and reduced mobility, life care should be strengthened

Diet**: Control the intake of animal fat and high cholesterol, such as limiting egg yolks, fatty meat, animal offal, etc., avoid high-sugar diet, eat more vegetables, fruits and kelp, control weight, and it is best to quit smoking and alcoholMedications**:

Drugs that improve blood circulation to the brain, such as vitamin E, ginkgo biloba preparations and many Chinese patent medicines; lipid-lowering drugs such as linoleic acid preparations; Neuronal activating drugs such as Sanlexi, ATP, CTP, etc.; At the same time**High blood pressure, diabetes and other major diseases that lead to arteriosclerosis.

Cerebral atherosclerosis is the manifestation of atherosclerosis in the cerebral blood vessels, and the prevention and treatment of cerebral arteriosclerosis requires the administration of drugs in addition to improving lifestyle**.

In terms of drugs**, including the administration of lipid-modifying drugs, statin lipid-regulating drugs are preferred; Antiplatelet drugs can prevent platelet adhesion and aggregation and can prevent thrombosis; Calcium channel blockers may also be given to help improve blood supply to the brain. At the same time, it is also necessary to control some risk factors related to the disease, such as antihypertensive drugs for patients with hypertension, hypoglycemic drugs for patients with diabetes, and so on.

Atherosclerosis is a pathophysiological process in which lipids in the blood are deposited in the endothelium of blood vessels through enzyme mediation, and the result of atherosclerosis is plaque formation, narrowing and even vascular occlusion of blood vessels. And it is precisely because atherosclerosis is a pathophysiological process of birth, old age, sickness and death, so even if drugs** can reduce the size of plaque, it still cannot reverse the plaque, so that the blood vessels can restore the same elasticity and other properties as before. The first step is to make lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking, exercising, controlling weight, and eating a low-salt and low-fat diet.

Usually be sure to eat a low-salt and low-fat diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, never eat animal fat, you can choose some seafood, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, has a protective effect on blood vessels.

Cerebral arteriosclerosis Cerebral arteriosclerosis is a part of systemic arteriosclerosis, especially in middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 50, and the incidence is more common in men than in women. Due to lipid metabolism disorders, cholesterol and fat are deposited deep in the arterial intima and collagen fibers are proliferated, thickening the intima of the arterial wall and narrowing the arterial lumen. Due to human aging, the physiological function of the brain declines, the aging and atrophy of brain tissue, and genetic factors and social environmental factors may contribute to cerebral arteriosclerosis.

In the early stage of cerebral arteriosclerosis, there can be no symptoms, and a series of symptoms produced during cerebral arteriosclerosis are mainly caused by the decrease in cerebral circulation and brain function. Such as headache, dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, hand tremor, numbness of hands and limbs, poor sleep, easy fatigue, memory loss, etc. These symptoms, such as headache, are usually dull and painful, in the posterior occipital or forehead.

Memory loss often manifests itself in the easy forgetting of names and numbers and the forgetting of recent events. Sleep disorders are mainly manifested as insomnia, dreaming a lot, not easy to fall asleep or shallow sleep, and short time. Some scholars cite headache, dizziness and amnesia as the three main symptoms of cerebral arteriosclerosis.

In the later stage of cerebral arteriosclerosis, there can be changes in behavior or personality, such as indifferent expression, inattentiveness, childishness, repetitive language, emotional instability, irritability, whining for some trivial things, tantrums, etc., in short, there are many symptoms. 1. Avoid mental tension and mood swings to reduce the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm. 2. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and participate in some activities within your ability, such as walking, gymnastics, tai chi, chess, travel, etc.

These activities can make the blood flow smooth and strengthen the physical fitness. 3. Smoking can cause arteriosclerosis, and long-term heavy drinking can promote arteriosclerosis, so you should quit smoking and drink less. 4. A reasonable diet is effective in the prevention of arteriosclerosis, and avoid eating foods that amount lipid or cholesterol.

Fruits, vegetables, and vitamin-rich foods should be supplemented. 5. It is necessary to conscientiously adhere to high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., because the development of these chronic diseases can promote cerebral arteriosclerosis. 6. According to the condition, under the guidance of the doctor, some drugs that dilate blood vessels to reduce blood lipids and promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis can be used, which can improve the symptoms.

Such as compound pathway, brain prozine, nimodipine, brain heart comfort, heart brain relaxation, vitamin E, etc.

Is it made of acute blood pressure in the brain, what extent is it done CT examination, what type does it belong to, if it is blocked or stroke, Jinji enzyme can be used, which has the effect of thrombolysis, and it is necessary to pay attention to low salt, low fat, light and more exercise in daily life

Atherosclerosis is generally more common in the large and middle arteries of the whole body, mainly due to 3 highs, long-term smoking, social and mental factors, etc., the best way is to control your underlying diseases, according to your vascular lesions for symptomatic**, it is recommended that you can consult Guiyang.
