Cerebral atrophy is a major disease that jeopardizes the health of middle-aged and elderly people, usually the onset of a patient will lead to a significant decline in the quality of life of the entire family, so it is important to do a good job in the prevention of cerebral atrophy.

There are many causes of brain atrophy, among which pathological causes, after excluding factors such as trauma and attempted brain inflammation and tumor, chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis are the most dangerous factors. Because of the long duration of these chronic diseases, it is not appropriate to pay attention to them, and once they develop, they will cause irreversible damage to the brain.

The clinical manifestations of cerebral atrophy are mainly in the following aspects. First, the degenerative changes in brain function, resulting in clinical symptoms are mainly systemic symptoms. In the early stage of the disease, patients will suffer from frequent dizziness and headache, insomnia and dreaminess, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, numbness of hands and feet, tinnitus and deafness. In addition, the physical condition will be manifested as a sudden aging. For example, the original physical quality of a good old man suddenly slow, hair suddenly white teeth loose loss, dry skin with age spots, and so on, the serious will be accompanied by ataxia tremor and other occurrences.

The second is cognitive decline. Dementia, diminished intelligence, memory deficits, personality changes, behavioral disorders, etc. Proximate memory deficits occur early, such as frequently losing items and forgetting things that have been promised. As the disease progresses, it gradually leads to complete loss of memory.

Thirdly, the character and behavior will change drastically, that is, like a different person, often manifested as depressed mood, unwilling to socialize with others, no feelings for children and friends, become stereotypical impatience, selfishness and suspicion, repetitive and verbose language, manic hallucinations, and so on, which ultimately leads to the loss of higher emotions such as shame, sense of responsibility, and so on.

Fourthly, there is a rapid decline in intelligence. The ability to understand, judge and calculate appears to be similar to the intellectual level of children, and they are unable to adapt to real life and do not know their names and home addresses.

If the above symptoms occur in the elderly at home, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, so that early detection and early diagnosis and early treatment. The prevention of cerebral atrophy can start from the following aspects: First, focus on the prevention of cerebrovascular diseases, such as the three highs (high blood pressure, high blood fat, high blood sugar) and atherosclerosis and other diseases.

Control the total calorie intake and high fat and high cholesterol diet, eat more vegetables and fruits as well as coarse grains rich in dietary fiber, reasonably supplement the fish and shrimp and other high-quality protein, drink more water to do appropriate exercise, quit smoking and avoiding alcohol, to ensure that sufficient sleep, and thus develop a good diet and work habits.
Do regular checkups to ensure early detection and early diagnosis and treatment to avoid delays. In addition, reasonable use of the brain. Read and write and actively participate in social activities, you can learn music instruments, such as square dancing.

Personally, I feel that brain atrophy should be a sign of brain aging just like any other organ aging in the human body. It is an irreversible developmental process of the organism. It's just that the degree of severity is different for each person, and the urgency of its appearance is different. Of course it is easy to appear in pathological conditions.

There should be no particularly serious symptoms in the early stages of brain atrophy, the earliest tend to be drowsiness or insomnia, memory loss, the person's reaction is slow, dull eyes, and even early dementia and other symptoms.

What I want to say is that early intervention and early treatment or conditioning with medication can yield very good results and will also slow down the progression of the disease. Chinese medicine, in particular, has unique theories and treatments for this disease, with obvious and reliable results, so it may be worth trying.

Brain atrophy has no specific proprietary symptoms. Common symptoms include: memory loss, mental abnormality, behavioral abnormality, slow movement, salivation and so on. Early stage is usually characterized by memory loss and forgetfulness.

After brain atrophy, people tend to forget things for a long time, frankly speaking, it is the qi and blood can't nourish the brain leading to brain atrophy, and it is necessary to replenish the qi and blood to be able to
