Let us know what the problem of subdural hematoma, how serious can it be.
Subdural hematoma and problems caused by it
Subdural hematoma is a collection of blood on the surface of the brain beneath the skull. This type of bleeding usually occurs after a head injury. In some situations, this condition can be acute or chronic. This problem can occur due to the rupture of a vein between the surface of the skull and the brain. The formation of blood clots on the surface of the brain can also cause many serious problems.
How to know if there is bleeding in the brain?
The symptoms of acute subdural hematoma are quite obvious, due to which there is a risk of many health problems. Subdural hematoma may cause difficulty speaking, loss of consciousness or coma, paralysis on one side of the body, severe headache, weakness, problems walking or seeing, confusion, or personality changes.
If a person has one or two such symptoms, he should immediately go to the emergency department. Chronic subdural hematoma can lead to dementia, stroke, tumors, or other serious problems in the brain.
Which people are at risk, how to protect themselves?
Most cases of subdural hematoma are usually caused by an injury to the brain. Apart from this, the risk of this serious problem is also seen to be higher in people who drink heavy amounts of alcohol. To avoid the risks of subdural hematoma, it is important to protect the head from any kind of injury. It is important to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle and wearing a seat belt in a car.
Apart from this, take blood-thinning medicines only on the advice of a doctor, due to this there can also be a risk. People who drink alcohol may also have a higher risk of brain bleeding, so it is important to stay away from alcohol.
