Which department should you visit for a stroke?
Disease description:
Recently, I fainted directly due to anger; suspecting it might be a stroke, I want to go to the hospital for an examination. May I ask, which department should I visit for stroke-related concerns?

Stroke should be treated at the neurology department or neurosurgery department.
Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disorder, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is mainly caused by narrowing or blockage of cerebral blood vessels and is usually treated in the neurology department. Hemorrhagic stroke, especially when involving significant bleeding requiring emergency surgery, should be treated in the neurosurgery department. For patients in the recovery or sequela stage of stroke, related issues can also be addressed in the neurology department or rehabilitation department.
The specific department choice should be determined based on the patient's condition and the hospital's departmental setup. If necessary, seek timely medical attention and follow the doctor's advice.
