A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, leading to bleeding in or around the brain. This bleeding can damage brain cells and disrupt normal brain function. Common causes include high blood pressure, aneurysms, or arteriovenous malformations. Symptoms may include sudden headaches, confusion, or difficulty speaking. Prompt medical attention is crucial for a hemorrhagic stroke to minimize brain damage and improve recovery chances. Treatment often involves controlling the bleeding and reducing pressure in the brain. Rehabilitation may be necessary afterward to help regain lost skills and improve quality of life.
