Introduction
Post-hemorrhagic sequelae of intracerebral hemorrhage include symptoms such as limb numbness and hemiplegia. After brain hemorrhage, hematoma compression on adjacent tissues and nerves often causes numbness in the contralateral face and limbs. For example, patients may experience sensations resembling ants crawling over their cheeks, fingers, and toes, or feelings similar to acupuncture. Particularly when temperatures drop, or during hot, humid, and rainy weather, this numbness and dullness become more pronounced.
Nowadays, people's living conditions have greatly improved. However, better living standards have also led to less attention to diet, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebral hemorrhage is a very dangerous condition that can be life-threatening if severe. What are the manifestations of sequelae after cerebral hemorrhage?
What Are the Manifestations of Sequelae After Cerebral Hemorrhage?
The sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage may include symptoms such as limb numbness and hemiplegia. After cerebral hemorrhage, hematoma compression of adjacent tissues and nerves often causes numbness on the opposite side of the face and limbs. For example, patients might feel as though ants are crawling on their cheeks, fingers, or toes, or experience sensations similar to acupuncture. This numbness and dullness become particularly noticeable when temperatures drop, or during hot, humid, and rainy weather. These are common sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage. When the hematoma compresses motor areas of the brain, muscle strength and flexibility in the contralateral limbs decrease. In severe cases, complete paralysis may occur, and patients may lose sensation to heat, cold, or pain. Visual fields are also significantly affected, typically resulting in an inability to see objects on the paralyzed side.
Severe headache is one manifestation of cerebral hemorrhage. Sudden-onset headaches without other apparent causes may indicate cerebral hemorrhage. Initially, patients may experience intermittent headaches, which progress into persistent headaches as the condition worsens. Dizziness is another symptom—patients may feel as though their surroundings are spinning and feel unsteady while standing. These symptoms may start off transiently but intensify as the disease progresses.
Patients are advised to consume more cereal foods, as these support recovery and are beneficial for nutrient absorption. Drinking an appropriate amount of milk daily and eating soy products can help inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the body and reduce blood lipid levels. We hope this information is helpful to you.
