Prognosis and Prevention
The prognosis of a stroke patient depends on the severity of brain damage. Some revert back to near-normal life while others are maimed for life.
The prognosis of a stroke patient depends on the severity of brain tissue damage. Some patients revert back to near-normal life with slight discrepancies, such as speech or gait defects. Others, though, are maimed for life with conditions such as hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body), incontinence of the bladder or bowel and severe difficulty in speaking.
For many, a massive stroke may prove to be fatal. If the stroke is debilitating then the relatives of the patient along with health care takers should take the right decision regarding patient management or regarding prolonging the patient’s life.
