For strokes caused by hypertension, it is essential to first determine whether the condition involves cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral thrombosis. In cases of cerebral hemorrhage, management depends on the volume of bleeding. If the hemorrhage is large, interventional therapy or surgery may be required to remove part of the hematoma and reduce pressure on brain tissue. For minor bleeding, conservative treatment is recommended. Cerebral thrombosis requires antiplatelet medications to improve cerebral blood flow, promote plaque regression, and alleviate symptoms. In summary, an appropriate treatment plan should be selected based on the specific clinical situation.
