Brain hemorrhage can occur due to many different reasons. High blood pressure, stroke, aneurysms that occur as a result of blood accumulation due to weakening of the vessels in the brain, bleeding disorder, vascular disorder, liver disease that increases bleeding can be among these causes. Generally, people under the age of 50 have cerebral hemorrhage as a result of a blow, while aneurysms and high blood pressure are the leading roles in people over the age of 50. The factors that cause bleeding do not give any symptoms until they pass to the advanced stage, as they cause heavy wear in the area where the bleeding occurs. The important thing is that if you suspect a brain hemorrhage, you should see a doctor without wasting time. Even if it is a simple headache, you need to be examined without belittling.
Symptoms of Brain Bleeding
Symptoms vary according to the site of bleeding. For example, if there is bleeding in a part of the brain related to vision, there may be trouble in vision, and if there is bleeding in a part of the brain related to speech, a speech disorder may occur.
Weakness and balance disorder on one side of the body may be a sign of cerebral hemorrhage.
If bleeding occurs in the brain stem, the person may go into a coma.
Headache is a common symptom, but of course, not every headache is a sign of cerebral hemorrhage. As we have pointed out before, it is useful to consult a doctor even if there is even the slightest doubt. Headaches due to cerebral hemorrhage are usually severe. They are painful enough to wake you from sleep. When describing these pains, patients use sentences such as “I have never seen such a pain in my life, it was like my head was going to explode, it was like a knife was stabbing.”

How is Brain Bleeding Diagnosed?
Cerebral hemorrhage can progress heavily. Therefore, for example, if bleeding occurs as a result of a blow, it may not show symptoms in a short time, and it may not be understood that there is a brain hemorrhage. As we mentioned in the symptoms, some findings may be a symptom of other diseases. However, just in case, if the above symptoms are observed, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
Brain Bleeding Treatment
Before the treatment, various tests and examinations will be performed to determine the condition causing the bleeding and the region of the bleeding. The treatment method will be determined according to the cause, diameter and location of the brain hemorrhage.
Brain Bleeding Surgery
Surgical treatment can be applied to stop the bleeding and reduce the swelling that is pressing the brain. Medication can be taken to relieve pain.
