Some elderly people with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, in order to prevent blood clots, habitually go to the hospital for infusion 2-0 times a year, for ten days and half a month at a time, saying that they "wash" the blood vessels.
plumauntis one of them, but a hospitalization experience last year made LeeauntCorrectly understand the "infusion flushing blood vessels".
plumaunt, I am 68 years old this year, and high blood pressure is an old problem. Every year in summer and winter, she likes to go to the community hospital for intravenous drips, saying that she can "bathe blood vessels" to let the blood flow smoothly, so that she is not afraid of stroke.
Last winter, one morning, LeeauntI had just finished exercising in the morning, and I was busy making breakfast, when I suddenly felt that my left hand and left foot were not obedient, and I couldn't even hold the spatula steadily. She chuckled in her heart, knew something was wrong, and quickly called an ambulance.
Fortunately, the neurology emergency doctor was in the "golden window" of cerebral infarctionauntSpecialized "blood vascular" treatment was performed.
After treatment for a while, LeeauntI gradually felt the strength of my hands and feet, from being unable to move at the beginning, to being able to move slowly, and then to being able to walk on my own. plumauntWhile rejoicing, I also had doubts, I would go to the blood vessels every year, why did I still get cerebral infarction?
Later, Liaunttold the doctor the questions in her heart, and through the doctor's popular science, she deeply realized that infusion through blood vessels is not completely effective in preventing blood clots.
At present, the so-called infusion of blood vessels, most of the use of some traditional Chinese medicine, including salvia, Xuesaitong and other drugs, it stands to reason that these drugs are useful for dredging blood vessels, but these drugs have a short time of action, and in the long run, they cannot play a role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. What's more, these medicines are used to treat diseases, not to prevent diseases, and if they are not required by the disease, they cannot be used casually. Moreover, these drugs actually have oral preparations, and infusions are risky.
If you can take medicine, you don't need to take injections, this is not an unfounded statement.
Infusion is a traumatic process, which not only cannot prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also has many potential risks.
First, frequent punctures can damage blood vessels and nerves, causing them to harden and become brittle, increase the risk of blood vessel rupture, and may cause local pain or infection, especially in older people.
Secondly, infusion reactions may occur during the infusion process, such as allergic reactions, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
In addition, the rapid entry of large amounts of fluid into the bloodstream can increase the burden on the heart, which is especially detrimental to patients with heart disease. Long-term infusion may also lead to a decrease in the body's sensitivity to drugs, and even the development of drug resistance, which can affect the effectiveness of treatment. At the same time, frequent infusions may interfere with the immune system and reduce the ability to fight disease.
Infusion through blood vessels is usually performed in specific medical situations, mainly used to treat or alleviate some acute or serious vascular diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, acute pulmonary embolism, acute cerebral infarction, severe emergencies, etc.
1. Control blood pressure, stability first
High blood pressure is an important cause of hardening and blockage of blood vessels. thereforeThe first task is to take blood pressure medication regularly under the guidance of your doctor to keep your blood pressure within the normal range.At the same time, it is necessary to regularly monitor changes in blood pressure and adjust the treatment plan in time.
2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
3. Regular physical examination, early detection and early treatment
In addition to blood pressure monitoring, attention should also be paid to vascular health-related indicators such as blood lipids and blood glucose. Vascular ultrasonography is performed regularly to understand the thickness of the blood vessel wall and the formation of plaques, so as to detect and intervene in vascular lesions early. For patients with confirmed cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in addition to antihypertensive therapy, drugs such as antiplatelet aggregation and lipid regulation to stabilize plaques should also be used according to the condition, and it should be noted that they must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
