Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your father's clinical details.
Based on the description, your father has suffered
paralysis of right side of body because of blood clot on the left side of brain.
There are two types of brain stroke- bleeding and
ischemia.
In bleeding, the blood leaks out of blood vessel, and damages the brain tissue. If the bleed is large, it can be removed by a surgery. If it is small, it does not need surgery.
In ischemia, there is lack of blood flow to the brain. Treatment is with
aspirin and
statin tablets, along with
physiotherapy.
Recovery is slow and incomplete.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
