General Awareness on Brain Stroke by Dr. Sandhya Manorenj Including Risks and Prevention

Brain stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to potential brain damage. Common causes include blood clots, high blood pressure, and cholesterol buildup in the arteries. Early recognition of stroke symptoms—such as sudden weakness, confusion, or trouble speaking—can significantly improve outcomes. Prevention strategies include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing risk factors like hypertension and diabetes. Treatment options may involve medication to dissolve clots or surgery to remove them, alongside rehabilitation to regain lost functions. Awareness of stroke and prompt action can save lives and reduce long-term disabilities.
