World Stroke Day: Experts Emphasize Timely Treatment for Full Recovery
Hyderabad: Brain stroke cases have been increasingly observed in recent times. Recognizing the symptoms early and bringing the patient to the hospital within the first three hours can lead to complete recovery with appropriate treatment. In observance of World Stroke Day, Aster Prime Hospital organized a special event to explain the symptoms, challenges, and available treatment methods for this condition. Dr. Anirudh Rao Deshmukh, Neurologist and a stroke specialist at the hospital, explained that a stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked, causing cell death in the affected area. Unlike a heart attack, a stroke can impact multiple organs. Symptoms may include vision loss, memory issues, facial drooping, speech difficulties, and trouble walking. Bringing a patient to a specialized hospital within three hours can ensure timely treatment.
