Treatment of discirculatory encephalopathy

Many consider all listed symptoms with echoes of stress, lack of sleep, contrasting weather changes, atmospheric pressure, magnetic storms, fatigue. Should not be easily treated «bells», which feeds our body, because they can all be signs of chronic blood circulation failure in the brain. Doctors call this disease with discirculatory encephalopathy. How serious is this disease, how to defeat it?

What is discirculatory encephalopathy?

This vascular disease affecting the brain directly has chronic, slowly progressive character. As a result of structural changes, both brain functions are broken. Complete name for hearing the name can be decrypted: «Discirculatory» in the literal translation means «With circulation disorders», «Encephaal» - brain, «Patos» - pathology. The disease can still be called chronic vascular brain deficiency or ischemic disease, but not heart, but brain. The disease is dangerous by the fact that it is gradually in one section of the brain, then microinsults occur in the other, that is, the supply of blood and the oxygen contained in it and nutrients of the tissues of this section is disturbed, such sites may even die. Risk of stroke, epileptic seizures increases. Abbreviated disease writes two letters «DE».

Why DE occurs?

Allocate two main reasons:

1. Atherosclerosis - Increased concentration in human blood of residential compounds - triglycerides, low density lipoproteins, cholesterol. These substances precipitated on the walls of blood vessels, layered and form the so-called «Cholesterol placas». When plaques are compacted, the nutrition of the nerve cells is broken.
2. Arterial hypertension - it leads to the local deterioration of the state of small vessels, appear argument, stenosis (narrowing). When aneurysms are formed (even minor), then with pressure jumps there is a risk of their rupture. This is how the complex vascular brain system is destroyed.

What other diseases and factors contribute to the development and progression of DE?

• Skull injuries;
• diabetes;
• vegeto-vascular dystonia;
• angina, obs, heart rate disorders, heart failure;
• overweight;
• Alcohol abuse, smoking;
• frequent, long-term neuropsychiatric overloads;
• spondylosis (vertebral degeneration);
• cervical osteochondrosis;
• sedentary lifestyle.

Symptoms

The disease is divided into three stages, it all depends on the severity of symptoms. Each person has a duration of replacing each other's stages different, it depends on the degree of damage to atherosclerosis and severity of flow Hypertension, habits, emotions, lifestyle, concomitant diseases, heredity ..

For the initial stage, the appearance of periodic headache, dizziness, increased fatigue, irritability, mood swings, federation, weather sensitivity, sleep disorders, noise in the head of different intensity. A person notices that he is difficult for him to focus, remember where he put this or that important document (the subject of ego). There are difficulties with a concentration of attention, the transition from one type of activity to another. The memorization of dates, phones, planned cases and events deteriorates.

The second stage - the symptoms are further exacerbated. A distinctive feature - a man perfectly remembers what happened to him and his relatives a few years ago, in childhood, youth, but absolutely does not remember what happened this week, whether he saw the medicine on this day or not, closed the door when leaving House or not. The initials of the doctor, familiar people are forgotten. During the day clone to sleep, but I can't fall asleep at night for several hours. Advanced jealousy, stubbornness, syradiability, irritability. You can notice violations in coordination of movements, slowness, stepling when walking, weakening attention, visual memory. Easy violations in speech. For example, a person wants to say something, but suddenly ships, does not find the right words to complete the thought, phrase. The word is spinning in the head, and it does not turn out.

The last stage - progresses the worsening of memory, it is even more violated, the words are poorly associated with the proposals. Perhaps the appearance of dementia (dementia), such patients cease to recognize their relatives and loved ones, make inadequate actions. It happens that such people go out of the house for a walk or in the store, and then lose.

Symptoms can be clear, pronounced, frequent or blurred, periodically manifested.

To suspect (or relative), the brain supply disorder should be bleeding in the case if you celebrate at least three symptoms for three months with the frequency of repetition more than once a week:

• dizziness;
• Intense headaches;
• increasing memory deterioration;
• noise in the head;
• fatigue, drowsiness day, deterioration of performance.

Diagnosis of discirculatory encephalopathy

To stop the progression of pathological processes, it is worth it to contact the clinic immediately, take a mess to the neurologist. Doctor to set the diagnosis to assign:

• general urine analysis, blood;
• blood analysis on lipids, sugar;
• angiography (radiography of the state of vessels of the brain);
• inspection of the state of the ophthalmologist;
• dispossession;
• various types of electrocardiogram;
• Dopplerography, echotomography and other ultrasound methods;
• Magnetic resonance angiography, magnetic resonance tomography.

Recommendations for treatment

Effective treatment includes the following components:

• Reception of drugs;
• phytotherapy;
• physiotherapy;
• diet;
• Massage and therapeutic physical education.

The doctor begins treatment with therapy of the underlying disease, which caused discirculatory encephalopathy - hypertension or atherosclerosis.

With a permanent pressure increase, the patient is selected drugs that contribute to declining and maintaining it in normal.

Statins are issued to normalize cholesterol and lipids exchange.

If there is a risk of stroke, then if necessary, assign funds for Blood dilution, Preventing thrombosis.

Another doctor discharges medicines that reduce the severity of symptoms:

• with dizziness - vascular preparations (Cavinton, cinnarizin, cerebrolysin);
• with headache - analgesics (Andipal, Baratgin, Spasgan);
• With a worsening of memory, reducing intellectual abilities - means to improve metabolism - (Actovegin, phenotropyl, nootropyl, piracetam);
• during asthenia, apathy, depression - antidepressants;
• In case of irritability, plasticity - soothing means (tincture of evading peony, mother-in-law, Valerian, Pans, New Passitis).

Nicotinic, amber, lipoe, pantothenic acid, glycine are also appointed, Vitamin Mineral Complexes, containing vitamins of group B, selenium, tocopherol, retinol, ascorbic acid, for example, alphabet, duuk, kvadevit.

With coarse narrowings of the main vessels, sometimes resort to surgery:

• expanding the narrowed lumen of the vessel by introducing a special frame to it - stent (stenting);
• removal of a part of the vessel with a further substitution to the prosthesis;
• The formation of branches, the compound of some vessels among themselves (reconstruction of the vascular system of the brain).
