Introduction
If a patient has long-standing severe hypertension, they may develop Alzheimer's disease, which could lead to neuronal degeneration and death, resulting in corresponding atrophy in areas such as the parietal and temporal lobes. It is recommended to take medications such as paroxetine hydrochloride tablets and fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules under the guidance of a physician for treatment.
Brain atrophy refers to the shrinkage of brain tissue. Causes of brain atrophy include physiological factors, head trauma, neurological disorders, and others. A detailed analysis is as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
With increasing age, the brain tissue may undergo a certain degree of atrophy, which is considered a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not require excessive concern.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Head Trauma
Falls from a height or traffic accidents may cause brain tissue damage, leading to brain atrophy. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as mecobalamin tablets or loxoprofen sodium tablets may be taken to treat the condition.
2. Alzheimer's Disease
If a patient has long-standing severe hypertension, they may develop Alzheimer's disease, which can lead to degeneration and death of neurons, resulting in atrophy in corresponding areas such as the parietal and temporal lobes. It is recommended to take medications such as paroxetine hydrochloride tablets or fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules under medical supervision.
In addition to the above factors, diabetes can also lead to brain atrophy. When brain atrophy is initially suspected, it is advisable to visit a hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly.
