Can cerebral infarction heal on its own?

Cerebral infarction cannot heal itself. When cerebral infarction occurs, brain tissue dies due to ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis. After brain tissue necrosis, it cannot regenerate. Cerebral infarction is mainly caused by cerebral atherosclerosis or cardiogenic factors, such as cerebrovascular occlusion, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, which lead to brain cell necrosis because brain cells have no regeneration ability and cannot heal themselves. If cerebral infarction occurs, thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy can be performed promptly, and the brain tissue can be cured without ischemic necrosis. If cerebral infarction is not treated promptly in the acute stage, it will aggravate brain tissue damage and leave neurological sequelae. When a cerebral infarction occurs, waiting for spontaneous recovery may lead to further aggravation of the condition. It is recommended that patients promptly go to a regular hospital for treatment. After the cause is clear, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.

The vast majority of patients with cerebral infarction cannot heal on their own. Only a very small number of patients with mild symptoms may gradually improve their symptoms within 72 hours after onset, which is called reversible neurological deficit. The reason for its spontaneous improvement may be the relief of vasospasm or the self-clearance mechanism of emboli. . The incidence of cerebral infarction is high, the disability rate is high, the mortality rate is high, and the recurrence rate is high. You should seek medical treatment immediately after the onset and race against time to save the brain. If thrombolysis is performed within 4.5 hours and the thrombus is removed within 6 hours, there will be significant improvement. Symptoms of patients with cerebral infarction may even leave no sequelae.

And by comparing the changes in the area of ??infarction before and after, to effectively guide treatment, patients need to be given intravenous drips of drugs that strengthen the brain, nourish nerves, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, to help improve the ischemia and hypoxia of the brain tissue. Most of the After active treatment, the patient's condition gradually stabilized. For patients with lacunar cerebral infarction, the prognosis is good and will not cause serious sequelae.
