Treatment. As mentioned, there are different types of strokes that can affect a woman. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when one of the arteries in the brain ruptures. This will leak blood into the brain. It needs to be treated very differently.
If the rupture was due to high blood pressure, then doctors will work on ways to decrease blood pressure and calm the bleeding. If it’s just a weak and faulty artery, then it’s possible it will need to be repaired through arteriovenous malformation repair. Finally, if the bleeding is due to an aneurysm, it’s likely that surgery will be needed to try to stop the blood flow coming from the aneurysm.
