A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from receiving oxygen and nutrients. Without prompt treatment, brain cells begin to die within minutes, making early recognition and immediate care critical to saving life and function.
There are two main types of stroke: ischemic stroke, caused by a blockage in a blood vessel supplying the brain, and hemorrhagic stroke, caused by bleeding in or around the brain. Common symptoms include sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, facial drooping, loss of balance, severe headache, or vision problems. The FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, Time) test is a simple way to पहचान early warning signs.
Our stroke care focuses on rapid diagnosis and immediate intervention. Advanced imaging techniques such as CT scan and MRI are used to determine the type and extent of the stroke. Timely treatments, including clot-dissolving medications or interventional procedures, can significantly improve outcomes if administered within the critical window.
Post-stroke rehabilitation is equally important and may involve physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with patients and families to support recovery, restore independence, and reduce the risk of future strokes. With early treatment, expert care, and continuous follow-up, many stroke patients can achieve meaningful recovery and lead productive lives.
