What could be the reason for the recent memory loss

In life, we often hear people say, "Oh, why did I forget what I was going to say?" Moreover, people's memory ability continues to decline as they age, but it is normal for many body functions to have problems with age. But nowadays, many young people often suffer from memory loss, which makes many friends very worried. Want to know what's going on with your recent memory loss?

There may be two situations. One is organic amnesia.

The second is functional amnesia. The so-called organic amnesia is due to problems with the memory nerves in the cerebral cortex, including brain tumors, brain trauma, encephalitis, etc., which cause memory impairment or loss; certain serious systemic diseases, such as endocrine dysfunction, malnutrition, and chronic poisoning, can also damage the brain and cause amnesia. Functional amnesia refers to problems with the memory function of the cerebral cortex.

Organic amnesia

It is due to problems with the memory nerves in the cerebral cortex, including brain tumors, brain trauma, encephalitis, etc., which cause memory impairment or loss; certain serious systemic diseases, such as endocrine dysfunction, malnutrition, chronic poisoning, etc., can also damage the brain and cause forgetfulness. At the same time, as we age, the brain itself will undergo a certain degree of degenerative changes, or brain function will decline due to the gradual hardening of cerebral arteries.

To deal with organic amnesia, if it is caused by illness, timely treatment should be sought, or thinking and physical exercise should be strengthened. Strengthening thinking activities means using your brain more and analyzing problems more, which can prevent brain dullness and keep the memory nerves of the cerebral cortex young; physical exercise can ensure that the brain has sufficient blood supply, which helps memory.

Functional amnesia

Functional amnesia refers to problems with the memory function of the cerebral cortex. When people reach middle age, they shoulder heavy work responsibilities and have a lot of housework to do, and the things they have learned are often not remembered deeply in specific parts of the cerebral cortex. There are several ways to deal with functional amnesia: 1. Thoroughly understand the learning content, do not just have a half-understanding or swallow it whole; 2. Try to eliminate all kinds of external interference; 3. Frequently recall and review the learned knowledge; 4. Take a step-by-step approach and avoid tension and impatience; 5. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, ensure sleep, and generally continuous learning should not exceed 1 to 1.5 hours. In order to enhance their memory, some people desperately take physical tonics or brain tonic drugs. Others try to overcome forgetfulness with the help of cigarettes, alcohol, strong tea and coffee. These are not advisable. Doing so will not only not help memory, but will often do more harm than good to your physical health.

If the disease causing amnesia cannot be determined clinically, amnesia can be used as a preliminary diagnosis and treatment can be carried out based on syndrome differentiation.

From the detailed explanation above about what causes recent memory loss, you should know that there are two situations. One reason is that there is something wrong with your body, and the other reason is that there is something wrong with your body due to aging. So if the condition is serious, it is better to go to the hospital for timely examination.
