Stroke is one of the number two causes of death worldwide, after a heart attack.
Stroke can occur to anyone, both men and women, and at all ages.
There are two types of stroke, namely ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
Ischemic stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is cut off due to blockage of blood vessels, while hemorrhagic stroke occurs when blood vessels rupture and bleeding.
Symptoms of stroke include difficulty speaking, paralysis on one side of the body, difficulty walking, and severe headaches.
Stroke risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, overweight, and unhealthy eating patterns.
Preventing stroke can be done by maintaining blood pressure, stopping smoking, eating healthy food, and exercising regularly.
Stroke can be treated with drugs or by surgery, depending on the type and severity of the stroke.
After experiencing a stroke, patients need rehabilitation to restore body function affected by stroke, such as physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.
Stroke can be prevented by avoiding risk factors and living a healthy lifestyle, so that it can improve the quality of life and reduce the risk of stroke.
