How to take care of yourself during the recovery period after cerebral hemorrhage surgery?

Cerebral hemorrhage is a common disease among the elderly. Cerebral hemorrhage refers to intracranial hemorrhage. It is caused by rupture of brain blood vessels due to stimulation or external trauma, resulting in congestion or edema in the brain. Blockage of brain blood vessels can easily endanger physical health. Care is very important during the recovery period after cerebral hemorrhage surgery. It is necessary to balance the body's blood pressure, turn over frequently, and prevent hemiplegia.

How to take care of yourself during the recovery period after cerebral hemorrhage surgery

First, it is considered that the patient suffers from hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, which may be caused by bleeding in the thalamus or basal ganglia breaking into the ventricles. This type of patient usually has hemiplegia, aphasia, and hemisensory impairment. The specific recovery situation is related to whether the surgery is timely, whether the bleeding can be stopped, and whether the hematoma is cleared.

Second, the chance of hemiplegia is very high. If the right limbs don’t move much now, hemiplegia is probably certain. Therefore, we must seize the time to do rehabilitation functional exercises, starting with active and passive movements of the limbs to prevent muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs. The effective recovery period is one year, also known as the golden treatment period, but it does not mean that subsequent treatments will have no effect. The later recovery of this type of patients is closely related to the care of their family members and long-term rehabilitation functional training.

Third, pay attention to blood pressure regulation in the later stage. If blood pressure control is not ideal, bleeding will occur again. Blood sugar and blood lipids should also be controlled.

Good food to eat

1. Patients with cerebral hemorrhage are advised to eat more bananas in their daily diet, because bananas contain many nutrients, among which bananas can help the brain create serotonin. It can provide the human brain with signals of happiness, quietness and sleepiness.

2. People with cerebral hemorrhage should avoid eating greasy food and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, especially green vegetables and melons. It is also very important to supplement some protein after surgery, so it is recommended to eat more beans in daily life.

3. When cooking, you can choose some vegetable oils, such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, etc. These vegetable oils contain a lot of unsaturated fats, which will promote the excretion of cholesterol and then be converted into bile acid, which will reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, delay and reduce arteriosclerosis, and prevent the worsening of cerebral hemorrhage.

4. After the operation, patients with cerebral hemorrhage who are in the recovery period should not eat greasy food. They should eat more low-salt, low-fat, high-vitamin and high-protein food. Patients with cerebral hemorrhage are prohibited from eating spicy food, smoking and drinking, and should insist on having smooth bowel movements every day.
