Senile cerebral atrophy, a symptom of cerebral atrophy in the elderly

Brain atrophy" According to medical records: Li, male, 67 years old. The patient had no obvious cause 2 years ago, but gradually felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet, which worsened for half a year.

After examination by the provincial hospital, the diagnosis was: cerebral atrophy. After taking "Brain Rehabilitation" and "Brain Pathway", the disease did not improve.

In the past six months, the symptoms have worsened, accompanied by nausea, stomach distention, lack of diet, forgetfulness, dry eyes, yellowish complexion, staggering gait, shaking when standing, dark red tongue, pale and thick greasy, and pulse.

On the third reexamination, the diagnosis was: frontopial lobe cerebral cortex atrophy.

Traditional Chinese medicine recognizes the disease: wind and phlegm upperfusion. Proposed: "Banxia Atractylodes Gastrodia Soup" is added and subtracted to "dissolve phlegm and relieve wind and fix dizziness".

Prescription boiling, once a day. After using three payments in a row, the dizziness was reduced, the diet improved, and the stomach distension disappeared.

In the fourth diagnosis, the dizziness was mild, there was no stomach discomfort, and the appetite was basically normal, but the standing was still unstable. Followed by a turtle plate top.

In the fifth diagnosis, dizziness was not obvious, nausea disappeared, both lower limbs were sore, standing unsteadily, and the tongue coating was thin and white.

Clinical consideration of 'liver and kidney insufficiency'. Redrafted, nourishing the kidneys, nourishing the liver, and extinguishing wind.

Prescription, decoction with water. After taking 60 payments in a row, the condition did not improve.

The 6th diagnosis, the evidence, dreaminess, lack of energy, and thickening of the tongue coating.

Therefore, it was changed to: spleen, dehumidification and phlegm reduction.

Prescription, decoction with water. It is normal to take 70 consecutive doses.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the main bone and the marrow, which is connected with the brain. The medical treatment in this case is mainly based on the consideration of the kidney, and the effect is mainly based on strengthening the spleen and infiltrating dampness.

17. Does senile brain atrophy require intervention** Dr. Zhang said.

It is normal for people to have mild brain atrophy in old age. Although the normal elderly have brain atrophy, the brain cells that survive without death have a strong compensatory function, and they can compensate for the function of dead cells to maintain normal mental activities, so there are no symptoms of dementia. In clinical observation, it was found that about 20% of patients with senile dementia had no brain atrophy changes.

The pathogenesis of senile dementia is multifaceted, and brain atrophy is not the only factor. At present, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is mainly based on clinical symptoms. Therefore, there is no scientific basis for the belief that brain atrophy is dementia.

It is recommended that patients take drugs for brain atrophy, such as brain rehabilitation tablets, oxiracetam capsules, Anlishen, etc., and actively prevent and treat vascular diseases, increase social interaction, read more books, read more newspapers, often participate in group activities, moderately participate in exercise activities, eat lightly, have smooth stools, strengthen nutrition, improve nutritional status, and maintain dietary balance and mental health. It is recommended that patients use stewed mushrooms with fish head and pork spinal turtle soup for dietary therapy.

It should be unsteady walking, unclear speech, and not sober.

Cerebral atrophy is a common and frequent disease in middle-aged and elderly people, and the incidence is increasing year by year. The onset of cerebral atrophy is relatively slow, and the clinical manifestations are closely related to the location and degree of cerebral atrophy. Diffuse cerebral cortical atrophy, mainly dementia, mental retardation, personality changes, behavioral disorders, and some will be accompanied by hemiplegia and epileptic seizures; Focal brain atrophy is characterized by personality changes; Cerebellar atrophy is dominated by speech impairment, ataxia, and tremor of the hands and feet.

In general, it can be divided into two categories: one is the decline of brain function, which is manifested as dizziness, headache, insomnia, numbness of hands and feet, depression, etc.; The other type is mental decline, which is manifested by impairment of cognitive ability and social adaptability, such as memory, comprehension, judgment, numeracy, and even dementia.

The systemic symptoms of cerebral atrophy disease will appear in the early stage of dizziness, headache, loss of eyes, dreaminess, soreness in the waist and knees, numbness in the hands and feet, tinnitus and deafness, etc., and in further development, there will be sluggishness, slow movements, muttering, and answering questions that are not answered. The body looks good for old age, dryness, pigmentation, and even hemiplegia, epilepsy or ataxia, etc.

The concomitant lesions of cerebral atrophy mainly include hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, hemiplegia of stroke, epilepsy, diabetes mellitus and tremor paralysis.

Western medicine believes that brain atrophy is, in layman's terms, a decline in brain function and brain aging.

It can be used orally to nourish brain cells, promote brain cell metabolism, exercise limb function, delay arteriosclerosis, and prevent cerebral infarction.

The amount is to take oral Aniracetam tablets or Piracetam tablets, Baiaspirin enteric-coated tablets, Ginkgo biloba and other drugs.

Older people can read more newspapers and play tai chi and other exercises.

The elderly with cerebral atrophy should first pay attention to supplementing seafood, edible mushrooms, beans and their products, fish, milk, sesame paste, various vegetables and fruits and other foods in their daily diet, so that the body can obtain sufficient minerals. In addition, patients can take the best method of physical plus traditional Chinese medicine, which is the best method of combining modern ** instruments under the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to further promote the recovery of patients.

Cerebral atrophy is a common chronic disease in the elderly, cerebral atrophy is a mental degenerative disease that causes the volume of brain tissue to shrink due to a variety of reasons, you can give the elderly Ceceton tablets and citicoline tablets, as well as brain protein hydrolysate tablets, these three drugs, you can also go to the hospital's ** department to do head acupuncture massage for the elderly, etc., it is best to keep the elderly warm. I hope my reply is helpful to you.

I just asked you about the environment of Shenyang Great Wall Hospital, and the expert said that cerebrovascular disease is the most important factor in the cause of brain atrophy. Due to a series of factors such as increased blood viscosity, slower blood flow, and rough blood vessel walls, brain atrophy, dementia and even death eventually develop.

What is brain atrophy? We all know what walnuts look like, our brains and walnuts are very imaginary, maybe why walnuts can replenish the brain. Let's imagine what walnuts look like when they are less fleshy and crumpled, and what we call brain atrophy.

Of course, this is just a similar example, can we tolerate the cerebral cortex slowly shrinking like a walnut? If you smoke for a short time, you can recover slowly after quitting smoking, but if you smoke for a long time, the cerebral cortex will be damaged to a certain extent, which we can't make up for after we quit smoking successfully.

Cerebral atrophy is mild and severe, and the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis, for those with mild cerebral infarction, they can live for more than ten years, and it is difficult to say if it is severe, and it can only be determined in combination with the patient's clinical symptoms and other examinations. In general, patients with cerebral atrophy can go through three stages: early, middle and late stage with the progression of the disease after the onset of the disease. Under normal circumstances, because the family did not find the initial symptoms of the patient in time, and did not timely **, many patients have entered the middle or even late stage of the disease when they are diagnosed with cerebral atrophy, so the question of how long patients with cerebral atrophy can live depends on the specific situation of the patient.

It is generally recommended that patients should go to a regular hospital for further treatment.

Patients with cerebral atrophy should pay attention to supplementing seafood, edible mushrooms, beans and their products, fish, milk, sesame paste, various vegetables and fruits and other foods in their daily diet, so that the body can obtain sufficient minerals.

Deficiency of qi and blood, cerebrospinal insufficiency and cause this disease, so when the cerebellar atrophy** should be based on replenishing qi and nourishing blood, nourishing the brain and strengthening the brain. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicines: purple river car, longan meat, Yizhiren, sour jujube kernel, ginseng, atractylodes, poria cocos, angelica, white peony, yam, polygonatum essence, astragalus, etc., can be added or subtracted with symptoms.

1.Diseases: With the growth of the elderly, the function of various organs and tissues in the body will gradually decline, and many elderly people will inevitably suffer from different degrees of chronic diseases such as arteriosclerosis, cerebral embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, diabetes, and hypertension.

A large number of clinical case studies have shown that these diseases are the culprits of brain atrophy and dementia, and these chronic diseases cannot be cured for a long time and are getting worse day by day. Some elderly people are stubborn, as long as they can walk, they think that they are not sick, refuse to persuade and **, the disease further develops and deteriorates, and eventually leads to degenerative disease of cerebral arteries, ischemia, hypoxia, degeneration and necrosis of brain nerve cells, resulting in brain atrophy and dementia.

2.Psychological factors: Some elderly people have worked in leadership positions all their lives, with high hard work and high self-confidence.

But the years are not forgiving, as I get older to retire from the post, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable for a while, everyone used to listen to him, but now I have to listen to others, so I can't listen to it. Some old people have been in charge of the family for decades, once they retire and are leisurely all day long, the dominance of the family is suddenly lost, and it is difficult to change their thinking, and they are inhibited in the long run, and the development of ideological deformities and other factors accelerate the aging of brain nerve cells, and it is easy to have brain atrophy.

3.Physiological factors: The human body is like a complete machine, and each organ is its parts, which will gradually age after a long time.

The physiological functions of the elderly will gradually deteriorate, especially the atherosclerosis of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (large and small arteries), and the microcirculation will be blocked, resulting in insufficient blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain, degeneration, necrosis, and functional decline of brain nerve cells. Brain atrophy manifestations such as memory loss, insomnia, irritability, lack of energy, apathy, unresponsiveness, and stubbornness then appear.

To sum up, the formation of cerebral atrophy in the elderly is mainly related to several major factors such as disease, psychology, and physiology, and it is hoped that children should pay more attention to the health of their parents and family members, and spend more time with the elderly every day, so that elderly friends can have a healthy and happy old age.
