Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guan Yanlei
Actually, stroke refers to what we commonly call a stroke, and it is divided into two types: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke generally includes cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage, while ischemic stroke usually refers to cerebral infarction or cerebral thrombosis. Treatment must be tailored according to the specific condition, as hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes require different therapeutic approaches. Therefore, immediate medical attention at a hospital is essential.
