What is the difference between stroke and cerebral hemorrhage?

In life, we often encounter various diseases that come suddenly, but we need to understand the symptoms and differences of some diseases. We are all familiar with stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, especially older people are prone to these two diseases. There are many reasons for illness, and personal physical fitness is still a key factor. In normal times, the elderly need to do a good job of prevention and pay attention to improving their own immunity and strengthening their resistance. In particular, improve your diet structure and eat less greasy food. So what is the difference between stroke and cerebral hemorrhage?

Stroke refers to cerebral infarction, which is an acute cerebrovascular disease. Because most of its onset is relatively sudden, it is also called "cerebrovascular accident" and often called "stroke". Any disease that causes cerebral blood circulation disorders and damage to brain tissue function or structure due to cerebral blood vessel blockage or rupture can be called a stroke. Therefore, stroke can be roughly divided into two categories, namely ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, which generally refers to ischemia or hemorrhage in the cerebral arterial system.

Cerebral hemorrhage, also known as cerebral hemorrhage, has many causes. The most common is long-term hypertension combined with sclerosis of the small arteries in the brain, which reduces the elasticity of the blood vessel walls. When the blood pressure rises suddenly (such as emotional excitement, drinking a lot of alcohol, mental stress, sudden weather changes, excessive fatigue, etc.), the blood vessels rupture and bleed. Other causes include cerebral arteriovenous malformations, aneurysms, blood diseases, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, etc.

Therefore, cerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke.

Cerebral hemorrhage refers to bleeding caused by non-traumatic rupture of blood vessels in the brain parenchyma, accounting for 20% to 30% of all strokes. The cause of its occurrence is mainly related to cerebrovascular lesions, that is, it is closely related to hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, vascular aging, smoking, etc. Patients with cerebral hemorrhage often suffer sudden onset of symptoms due to emotional excitement or strenuous effort. The early mortality rate is very high, and most survivors have sequelae such as movement disorders, cognitive disorders, speech and swallowing disorders to varying degrees.

Stroke is a group of diseases with symptoms of cerebral ischemia and hemorrhagic injury as the main clinical manifestations, also known as cerebral infarction or cerebrovascular accident. It has extremely high mortality and disability rates. It is mainly divided into two categories: hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage) and ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis), with cerebral infarction being the most common. Stroke has an acute onset and a high mortality rate and is one of the most important fatal diseases in the world.

Through the above content, we understand the difference between cerebral stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Both of these diseases seriously endanger people's health, so we need to take precautions. Because blood diseases can affect human life, once you suffer from this disease, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Both diseases can cause cerebral palsy and brain death, which are very harmful to people's health.
