Introduction
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may be associated with dehydration, oral medications, infections, and other conditions, and treatment should be tailored according to the specific underlying cause. When the body is dehydrated, the blood enters a hypercoagulable state, making it prone to thrombus formation within cerebral blood vessels. In addition to the aforementioned common causes, other factors such as trauma may also contribute. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention if any symptoms occur.
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may be associated with dehydration, oral medications, infections, and other conditions, and treatment should be directed according to the specific underlying cause. Specific situations are as follows:
1. Dehydration
After exercise, the body may become dehydrated, leading to a hypercoagulable state of the blood, which increases the risk of thrombus formation in cerebral blood vessels. In such cases, timely rehydration is necessary. Severe cases may require prompt intravenous fluid replacement therapy to relieve symptoms.
2. Oral Medications
In daily life, long-term and excessive use of oral contraceptives can increase blood viscosity due to their estrogen and progestin components, thereby promoting coagulation and increasing the risk of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. In such cases, contraceptive drugs should be discontinued promptly. In severe cases, anticoagulant therapy with medications such as rivaroxaban tablets or warfarin sodium tablets may be required under medical supervision.
3. Infection
Infectious diseases such as sinusitis, otitis media, and mastoiditis can easily spread into the cranial cavity and trigger thrombus formation. Treatment may include medications such as cefaclor sustained-release tablets or amoxicillin capsules as prescribed by a physician.
In addition to the above common causes, other factors such as trauma or coagulation disorders may also contribute. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.
