STROKE (Stroke Treatment)

STROKE treatment focuses on quickly restoring blood flow to the brain to minimize damage. There are two main types: ischemic stroke, caused by a clot blocking blood flow, and hemorrhagic stroke, caused by bleeding in the brain. For ischemic strokes, treatments like clot-busting medications or procedures to remove the clot are used. In hemorrhagic strokes, addressing the bleeding and reducing pressure are priorities. Prompt medical attention is critical—ideally within hours—to improve outcomes. Early intervention can save brain cells, reduce disability, and increase chances of recovery. Recognizing symptoms and seeking immediate care saves lives.
