Introduction
Excessive sweating on the head after surgery for cerebral hemorrhage may be caused by physiological factors, or by pathological conditions such as lung infection or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It can be relieved through general treatment or medication. Additionally, it might also result from hypoglycemia, cerebral hemorrhage, or cerebral contusion and laceration. In such cases, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is necessary, including a head CT scan, to determine the cause and select appropriate treatment.
Excessive sweating of the head after surgery for cerebral hemorrhage may be caused by physiological factors, or it could result from pathological conditions such as pulmonary infection or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Symptoms can be relieved through general management or medication. Specific analyses are as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
After cerebral hemorrhage surgery, once the patient's condition has stabilized, rehabilitation therapy is typically required. If the intensity of physical activity during rehabilitation training is too high, increased sweating may occur. This is generally a normal phenomenon; adequate rest and gradual progression of functional exercises are recommended.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Pulmonary Infection
Some patients may remain bedridden for prolonged periods after cerebral hemorrhage surgery. Without proper daily care, pulmonary infection may develop, leading to profuse sweating throughout the body. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take medications such as azithromycin tablets or cefixime capsules for treatment.
2. Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction
If patients experience chronic sleep deprivation or excessive mental stress after surgery, autonomic nervous system dysfunction may occur, resulting in various physiological abnormalities such as excessive sweating and memory decline. Patients may follow medical advice to use medications such as mecobalamin tablets or oryzanol tablets.
In addition, excessive head sweating could also be caused by hypoglycemia, cerebral hemorrhage, or cerebral contusion and laceration. Patients should seek timely medical evaluation, undergo head CT scans, and receive appropriate treatment based on diagnosis.
