"Stroke" is a clinical stroke, which is an acute cerebrovascular disease, and it mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old. bigger.

  Because of this, many people directly equate stroke with age, and even blindly think that this is an senile disease.

  But in fact, although stroke is prone to occur in middle-aged and elderly people, it does not mean that young and middle-aged people will not get sick.

  In recent years, with the changes in national living and dietary standards, the increase in smoking and alcohol abuse rates, and the high incidence of three-high diseases, stroke in young and middle-aged people is nothing new clinically. There is even a related research survey showing that the risk of stroke among women around the age of 18-40 is higher than that of other women!

  So the question is, what are the causes of stroke in young women?

  1. Contraceptives

  Under normal circumstances, the ingredients of oral contraceptives purchased on the market are actually various estrogen and progesterone. After exogenous estrogen enters the body, it can disrupt the metabolism of sugar and lipid substances , promote the level of coagulation factors and blood lipids , and cause the blood to be in a state of hypercoagulation, which in turn increases the probability of women suffering from stroke in the future;

  2. Autoimmune diseases

  The so-called autoimmune disease means that the immune system receives the wrong information. Instead of attacking foreign substances and pathogens, they attack their own harmless organs and tissues, and then induce a series of diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, connective tissue disease , etc.

  Relevant research investigations have shown that such diseases may put the blood in a hypercoagulable state , induce vasculitis, cardioembolism , and then increase the chance of stroke;

  

3. Three high diseases

  In fact, the essence of stroke is basically based on atherosclerosis. The appearance of the disease is not only related to genetics and age, but also affected by the three high diseases.

  For example, after women develop diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids and diabetes , they will act on arterial blood vessels, causing damage to the blood vessel wall, atherosclerosis, and then laying the foundation for the onset of stroke;

  

4. Smoking

  Studies have shown that active smoking, passive inhalation of second-hand smoke or third-hand smoke will increase the probability of stroke in women.

  The reason for this is that the nicotine in cigarettes may damage the integrity of the vascular endothelium, promote the invasion of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lead to damage to the vascular endothelium , and the arteries gradually lose elasticity, become more and more narrow, and then develop For atherosclerosis , increase the probability of future cerebral infarction;

  

5. Pregnancy

  During pregnancy and lactation after giving birth, women experience certain changes in blood circulation, coagulation, and hemodynamics . If a woman has pregnancy-related complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage, pregnancy-induced hypertension, diabetes, amniotic fluid embolism , etc., it will increase the risk of stroke .

  Therefore, relevant management should be done during pregnancy and postpartum, and blood pressure and glycemic index should be actively controlled to avoid excessive weight gain.

  In addition to the above factors, women's long-term alcoholism, long-term staying up late, and sedentary causes obesity, irregular diet, etc., will increase the possibility of three high diseases and atherosclerosis, and then lay the foundation for disease outbreaks .

  Therefore, from a clinical point of view, it is very necessary to stay away from unhealthy life and diet, scientific exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol cessation, and regular physical examination.
